EE was helping his co-worker changing out a return roller on the PC2 conveyor. Upon completion of the task, co-worker handed EE a 3lb. hammer. EE stated that he started to "drop" the hammer so he swung the hammer upward to keep it from falling and during this action the hammer handle struck him on the mouth chipping his two front teeth.

Belt clamps were being used with "lever style chain hoist" to pull the belt together. During this process the internal brake of that lever hoist slipped which shifted the pressure to the lever hoist that employee was operating. The sudden shift caused his right little & ring fingers to get caught between the chain of the lever hoist and a trough idler frame.

The employees were shimming the jaw crusher to close the discharge setting. Two steel wedges were used to assist the hydraulic pump in opening the push block to receive more shims.
