## Narrative

A five-employee crew was stringing a new conveyor belt using a 350 excavator, forklift, and pry bars. As the belt was being pulled into place, it lifted out of the troughing rolls, swinging toward three employees standing on the catwalk. The miner was caught between the belt and the handrail, causing a strain to neck, jaw and shoulder.
