Narrative

An employee was transferring the material he was running from one spindle on a winder to another spindle when the cutting function on the machined failed to cut through the material. He crawled underneath the spindle within the winder and attempted to cut through the film with a knife. His hand slipped and then his left wrist was wedged between the film and the roller, resulting in bilateral wrist and finger injuries that required hospitalization.
