We were digging out the inside rear area of a conveyor for about 1.5 hours with rear side guards removed for access. EE motioned to start the belt. Within a minute of the belt starting, EE was struck by a bar which was caught in the winged tail pulley. EE suffered cuts on neck and forehead requiring stitches, and torn ligaments in his left shoulder (surgery).
