Narrative

An employee was waiting for a sliced roll of paper to emerge from a paper machine winder. When the sliced roll emerged, the employee removed the side roll from the back roll and used tape to secure the side roll to the back roll. The employee then turned to get a core to place in the winder, at which time the side roll fell over, striking and fracturing the employee's lower left leg and foot.
