Narrative

EE was attempting to unchoke a Rotex. The EE locked and tagged out the unit but did not let the unit come to a complete stop. EE failed to perform the last step (Try Out) before reaching in and attempt to unclog the unit. The momentum of the machine coming to a stop in its normal resting position made contact with the EE's hand.
