Narrative

Employee had lifted the lid on the transfer box and climbed in to measure some wear metal. Lid was held open by a chain. When reaching to reposition self the lid fell down onto EE's hand. We believe that the wind, the employee touching the chain with EE's hand or vibration of the chute from EE's movement caused the lid to close.
