Narrative

At 8:50 a.m. on October 6, 20201, an employee was positioned behind a metal shear to help hold a piece of material about to be cut. As the shearing machine was engaged, its vertically moving backstop pinched the employee's left arm against a table below, in place to catch clippings. The employee suffered broken bones just above the wrist and was hospitalized.
