Narrative

On October 4, 2017, at approximately 11:59 p.m., an employee was operating a manual lathe. He was resurfacing a solid shaft with an emery cloth while turning it in the lathe when his glove, the cloth, and then his left hand wrapped around the turning shaft. He suffered four broken bones in his left hand and broke his wrist, requiring hospitalization and surgery.
