Narrative

An experienced trained beltman was prying up a piece of metal plate to align bolt holes on a booster drive frame. EE was working under a piece of belt guarding, under the belt. As EE pushed up on the plate EE's screw driver slipped, EE's arm went up, pushing the belt guarding to the side and EE's right arm was pulled between the belt and bottom roller causing an abrasion.
