Narrative

The regrind system malfunctioned, due to clogged resin. An employee went to the blend room to assess the issue. Once resin was flowing again, the employee was exiting the platform using a ladder and, having residual resin dust on gloves, his hand slipped off the ladder causing him to lose his footing and fall to floor. The employee suffered a knee fracture.
