Narrative

Plant operator was replacing a roller on overhead conveyor. The roller brackets were not correct for the roller being replaced and the roller came out of the brackets striking the operator on the bridge of EE's nose. At present, we believe that the operator sustained a broken nose. EE is in the process of being examined by an ENT specialist.
