## Narrative

EE was working on changing return idlers on A2 conveyor. They used two come-a-longs & a spreader bar to lift the belt so the idler could be removed & replaced. The hook on the main body of one of the come-a-longs opened up & slipped out of the hole where it was attached. It struck the employee on his left ear causing a laceration.  EE received stitches.
