## Narrative

Two employees including one supervisor was in the Quarry tunnel attempting to raise the gate for the tail pulley.  After repeated attempts, the wall went up and jammed one employee's right hand between the pulley and the wall of the tunnel.  It took about 3 minutes to pry their hand out from being squeezed.
