Narrative

An employee was cleaning up mulch spillage around a screener (electric and hydraulic) when a piece of tarp was blown into the screener. The screener operator stopped the screener and the employee attempted to remove the tarp piece. His left hand became wrapped up in the idler roller, resulting in fractures to the hand. He was hospitalized.
