Narrative

An employee was washing out the RS2 screw. While the employee's hand was in the RS2 screw, another employee activated/enabled the A station via the computer, causing the RS2 screw to turn. This action lacerated the employee's palm, severing the tendons. The RS2 screw was not locked out at the time of the accident.
