An employee was getting a tarp crank handle out of the way by pushing the handle behind the ledge of a roll-off box. He then turned to pick up a chain that was on the ground to hook to the box. Tension on the handle caused it to release and hit the employee in the head/face. He was hospitalized with a forehead contusion and a laceration to the bridge of the nose.
