Narrative

An employee was inside a robotic area attempting to retrieve a bag that had fallen off a pallet when he tripped a sensor that triggered a conveyor to start. He rode the conveyor line, but when that conveyor ended and another began, his right foot was caught between the two belts. He suffered cuts to his knee and a laceration to his finger when he pulled his foot out of the conveyor.
