Narrative

An employee was sanding a shaft on a turret lathe with strips of sandpaper. The sandpaper caught on a shaft, causing it to wrap around the shaft and contact the employee's gloves, pulling them off while pulling the employee's left hand into the shaft. The employee suffered lacerations to their hand and dislocated and broken fingers that required hospitalization.
