Narrative

After a wiper blade came loose on the screen discharge conveyor belt, employee and 2 other coworkers were attempting to secure the wiper blade's pivot arm to the belt frame with a wire. During the process, the wire came loose, and employee's hand became pinched between the crusher's frame and the wiper blade's pivot arm, resulting in a cut to the palm of their right hand.
