Final narrative

An employee was making adjustments to a vertical bucket conveyor. They were standing at the inspection window, tracking the path of the belt. The belt walked to the side, causing buckets to strike a patch (a steel plate approximately 13 by 6 inches) that was riveted to the top of the conveyor leg housing. The impact ripped the patch from the rivets and the patch fell approximately 80 feet to the ground, striking the employee's head. They sustained a skull fracture.
