Narrative

An employee was working on an automatic drill apparatus. A tool was left on top of the machine, and the vibration from the machine started to move the tool. The employee was attempting to grab the tool when the machine cycled again. The employee's left arm was caught in the machine, resulting in a left arm fracture and severe lacerations.
