Narrative

Employee deenergized air and power to the packaging equipment. He was retensioning the chain that runs the destacking tray. As he was taking tension off the chain he saw movement in the corner of his eye. He reacted by pulling his arm out of the machine. When he did so his left elbow scraped across the sharp edge of a metal tray.
