Narrative

Two crusher MTMs were removing crusher arm shoulder blocks from the 52-01 crusher that weigh approximately 193 lbs. The EE moved 4 to 6 feet away from the shoulder block to the south west, when the final lift was going to be conducted. The shoulder block freed itself traveling at the EE in the south west corner of the primary pinning EE's hand against the primary wall.
