Narrative

A stack of plywood came out of a press machine and did not fully roll out onto the roller bed to be picked up by a forklift. An employee tried to manually complete the cycle on the machine to move the stack of plywood. The load of wood then smashed his hand, breaking his thumb and lacerating his hand.
