Narrative

At about 10:50 a.m. on April 1, 2020, four employees were trying to unjam a sheet of drywall that was stuck in a kiln dryer. One of the employees was pulling on the sheet when it moved, causing the drive belt and assembly to rotate and pin his left hand. The pad of his middle finger was cut off to the first knuckle.
