Narrative

An employee was inside the Line 25 cooler doing a clean-out to prepare for the next batch. The machine was locked out, but the key was left in the lock and wasn't turned to the off position. Once the materials are loaded into this machine, it starts up again automatically if it has not been turned to the off position. He was caught in the machine and sustained extensive injuries to the right foot, burns to an arm and back and a possible broken neck.
