Narrative

A maintenance employee had just replaced the "tilt arm" on a bird filter machine, following lockout/tag-out procedures. The employee then removed the locks and inspected the filter's trailing rollers while the filter was on the "wash" setting. During the inspection, the employee made contact with the trailing roller. The employee's right bicep was caught between the trailing roller and carriage frame, detaching skin.
