Narrative

An employee was changing out a bad motor on the 8 X 24 screen at the wash plant. EE removed the mounting bolts and then was using a prybar on the base of the motor to rotate it clockwise. While prying in an upward motion from the base of the motor the prybar slipped and EE's momentum caused EE's right hand to strike the electrical box on the side of the motor.
