## Narrative

On January 26, 2017, at 3:00 PM, an employee was performing his rounds such as checking the hide conveyor for fats and paper towel build up to prevent a future problem. The conveyor was running and one of the hooks caught the employee's right arm tearing some of the muscle tissue from the arm. He was hospitalized where he had several surgeries due to E. Coli from the hide conveyor.
