Narrative

EE was removing 50# bags of finished product that had become jammed on the belt conveyor line of 4AP. The equipment was locked out. EE reached over the incline to clear bags when EE caught EE's right forearm on a piece of expanded metal. The contact resulted in a laceration that required sutures.
