Narrative

Was Changing support rollers on 57101 Clinker Pan conveyor. Was using standard steel 3lb sledgehammer to drive the rollers into the bracket on the pan. The hammer glanced off the end of the roller and struck the heat-treated flange of the roller causing a shard of steel to break off and lodge in leg. The employee was taken to clinic and released back to work with no restrictions.
