Narrative

At 5:30 a.m. on September 16, 2021, an employee was operating a gang saw when a metal part became caught in the saw at an uneven angle. The employee went to the back of the saw and pulled the metal out. The gauge then cycled and caught the employee's right forearm against the advancing part to be cut. The employee's right forearm was broken and she was hospitalized, requiring surgery.
