Narrative

Completed screen change. Moved down to change gate configuration. Another employee attempted to close from the below the chute, unsuccessfully. EE began clearing material from the outside of chute with a 6' breaker bar. When the material loosened and sloughed off, EE was still throwing the bar. Which resulted in EE's left arm overextending and striking the divider wall.
