Narrative

A mechanic was using a piece of pipe to prop open a dust lid on an air conveyor so the mechanic could access the belt to do cleaning. The mechanic had just finished cleaning the section of conveyor when the support pipe came loose and struck the employee on the left side of face just below the jaw. This resulted in the employee needing stitches.
