Narrative

An employee was doing a roll-up on the belt slitter machine when the belt buckled after he cut it. He turned away from the machine to get a stick to flatten the belt and slipped off the wooden box that he was standing on. While trying to catch his balance, he put his right hand down on the belt going under the roller. He turned the machine off, which caused the roller to drop and crush his right forearm.
