Narrative

On 6/18/2022, an employee had been driving a tow motor and putting finished products on the pallet wrapper machine when plastic wrap got jammed. The employee got off the tow motor and climbed onto the pallet wrapper to clear the jam. When he grabbed the wrap, his hand was pulled between the turntable and roller bed of the pallet wrapper. His hand was pinned/crushed causing broken bones in the right thumb and index finger. The machine was running at the time.
