Narrative

An employee was cleaning the belt to a metal detector. While she was cleaning underneath the machine, the roller to the belt grabbed the towel she was using and pulled her right hand and forearm into the roller, causing an open right upper extremity fracture. The conveyor was not turned off at the time of the incident.
