## Narrative

Contract IE was getting ready to replace lagging on a belt head roller, the belt was raised to get head room to work, a bolt thru a chain broke allowing the belt on one side to fall, hitting Contract IE on hard hat, neck and shoulder. Cause of this injury was using an old existing chain for rigging. PPE/mining systems/compliance with regs not a factor.
