Narrative

On May 9, 2022, at approximately 9:30 p.m. a temporary employee was working on a thermal forming machine. When the employee bent down to reach for a plastic tray, she lost her balance and the moving platform came down on her right hip and fractured it. The machine was unguarded at the time.
