Narrative

An employee turned off a lathe machine, opened it, and used a push bar to push material into the lathe. The push bar was still in the machine when the lathe was reactivated. The push bar was then thrown into the employee's head, fracturing the skull. The lathe was unguarded at the time of the incident.
