Narrative

An employee was troubleshooting the crimper action of a machine that made press paperboard cylindrical containers. As he passed a photo eye in an interlock gate area, the machine cycled and the indexing arm struck him on the head/face, crushing him against the chuck. He suffered a broken jaw, loss of teeth, and injuries to the back of the neck and head.
