Narrative

An employee was operating the Vermeer Walk-Behind cleaning up around the #1 Cooler Vent Fan. As the employee was backing up in the tight working space, the employees arm struck an I-Beam. This caused their right arm to go forward and bend EE's right wrist back into EE's arm causing a pinch point between the I beam and the piece of equipment. Fractured right wrist.
