Narrative

Injured was cleaning build up on belt structure with a wedge cap. The wedge got caught on top roller pulling right arm in between top roller and belt before he could pull belt pull cord to stop the belt. PPE was not a factor, mining equipment was not a factor, compliance rules/regs was a factor, miner proficiency was a factor.
