Narrative

On October 16, 2017, at 2:30 p.m., an employee was operating his wire screen weaving machine when the material quality began to diminish. He went around to the press rollers and loosened the bolts holding them in the loom. The press rollers, which were unsupported by a cart at the time, then fell out of the machine and onto his right ankle, causing a traumatic displaced trimalleolar fracture.
