Narrative

An employee was operating a hydraulic pallet lift conveyor to remove cans of tomatoes from a pallet. His leg was between the pallet lift conveyor and a guardrail when the hydraulic control was pressed, causing the pallet conveyor to rise and squeeze his right leg between the pallet and guardrail. His right leg broke.
