Narrative

An employee was preparing to remove a jammed spout from a spout block. The employee attempted to manually lift the spout block by pushing up on the cylinder underneath to get to the spout. The spout block came back down and caught his hand, causing a laceration and fracture. He was hospitalized. The machine was locked out and de-energized at the time.
