Narrative

EE was part of a 3 person team working to remove snow, and ice from a tail pulley. EE was holding the tail pulley from rotating as another employee cleared out. The team leader instructed the EE to stay clear of the conveyor, but the EE did not hear the command. A bar was still in the tail pulley when it was bumped and the bar hit the EE and knocked them to the ground.
