Narrative

IE stated that IE was trying to unplug a chute in the prep plant screen building using a scaling bar. IE was attempting to bust up material from the chute working upwards. The debris came loose falling below. The weight of the material sloughed down the chute catching the bar. The bar springboarded upward striking the IE on the left jaw, causing a laceration requiring 13 sutures.
