Narrative

Two employees had just finished installing a replacement sand bucket conveyor. One employee was adjusting the conveyor when the employee's arm was caught between the bucket and the door frame/opening to the elevator door. The employee's arm then hit the jog button, causing the moving conveyor to lift the employee to a point where the jog button was disengaged, stopping the belt. The employee suffered a deep laceration and broken arm, requiring hospitalization.
