Narrative

An employee was loading a liner sheet into a rotovac machine. The employee's arms came in contact with the two hand controls. This caused the machine frame's clamps to close onto the employee's hands. The employee suffered third-degree burns and lacerations to both hands. The employee was hospitalized.
