EE's were replacing the head pulley on a conveyor belt. The roller and shaft are conn. to a housing with an electric motor. When the last bolt was removed the housing rotated down, it impacted the EE on the upper thigh and calf on his right leg. The weight of the housing impacting his leg caused a puncture to his calf and the bolt hit his femur.
