Narrative

On July 7, 2016, at 0930, an employee was reaching into the strap station and jig of the brick strapping machine to straighten up the stack of bricks before they were banded. At the same time, the operator activated the machine, causing the carousel of jigs to move forward. She was pulled into the machinery, crushing her upper torso and head between the jig and the strap station.
