Narrative

A maintenance employee was visually inspecting a stacker package maker to troubleshoot a reported issue. He placed his right leg inside the roll case area of the machine to obtain a better visual. As he was looking upwards in an attempt to identify the issue, the stacker activated and a package of wood came down the roll case area and struck the employee's right leg. The employee sustained fractures to the right tibia and fibula.
