Narrative

At about 10:45 a.m. on March 7, 2019, an employee was at the back of a printing press, where dried paper had wrapped around a carrying roll. He was 3 feet up a 6-foot ladder, removing the stuck paper, when he fell to the cement floor, encountering wall-mounted valves, a metal catch tray on the floor, and a metal grating. He suffered back pain and two lacerations, one to the back of the head and one on the left elbow. Each laceration required stitches.
