Narrative

An employee had climbed onto a machine platform and gotten down on his hands and knees to look for the cause of a defect in film that was running on a slitting machine. He slipped and his left hand went into the machine, where it was caught between a roller and a bar. He suffered broken tendons in the hand and wrist.
