## Narrative

The CM was not being operated consistently with the training EE received. The EE was not located a sufficient distance from the CM and received injuries when the CM contacted the EE. Witness interviews and detection system logs also indicated that the EE was not wearing the proximity detection locator. Appears the EE placed locator on CM instead of wearing it on self.
