Narrative

On October 21, 2019, an employee was guiding a rope to prevent it from catching/rubbing on a piece of equipment while millwrights (contractors) were installing/pulling the belt up into a leg housing. The rope then broke, causing the employee to fall backwards on the gravel parking lot (same level) and land on their shoulder. The employee then stood up for about 30 to 60 seconds and fainted, falling to the ground (same level) and striking their head. The employee suffered a separated right shoulder and collarbone and a laceration to the skull.
