## Narrative

IE and another EE were in the process of setting the crusher in place. The overhead diverter gate lever was in their walkway; so EE raised the lever back with a 3/8"" rope that was looped through an eye at the end of the lever. When EE raised the lever, the rope broke causing the lever to swing free and strike IE's hardhat on the R side of IE's head knocking IE back into hand rail.
