## Narrative

EE had repaired a broken conveyor chain on a shuttle car. He was running the chain to check it and heard it making an unusual noise. He was looking under the shuttle car to locate the source of the noise & inadvertently place his left hand on the running conveyor chain resulting in it being pulled under the chain, mashing it. This occurred in the #2 entry of the 003/004 MMU.
