Narrative

An employee was standing on a transloader conveyor belt. He was in a crouched position attempting to remove a vibrator from the rail car. A coworker was with him, and as he was pushing the lever to turn off the vibrator, his hand hit the lever to engage the conveyor belt. The employee was spun around and caught under the guard and belt, breaking his left leg.
