Narrative

An employee was cleaning the shower line (high pressure water line) in the liner head box on the wet end of a paper machine. He stood up to get out of the box as someone from maintenance began to move the crane and got caught between the crane bridge and the liner head box lid. He broke his ribs and left forearm and dislocated his sternum.
