Narrative

Employee was removing large stones from the hazemag impact crusher (a blockage occurred in the discharge area). The employee was standing above the rotor and off to the side to get a good angle with a 6ft pry bar to dislodge the material, when a stone approximately 4'x 2' fell out of the chute and hit the rotor causing the stone to bounce up and strike the employee's left shin.
