Narrative

Employee was cutting off a bolt on a hatch on the inlet chute of the raw mill. There were 2 bolts in the door holding it in place. The one bolt that was holding it from rotating did not have a nut on it. As the employee began the work, the bolt without the nut somehow moved allowing the door to swing down and impact employee's leg, cutting it.
