Narrative

An employee was assisting a new employee with laminator machine startup. The extruder is on a carriage that can be moved along tracks in the floor. As the extruder was being moved into the machine, the injured employee stepped into the area to assist the new employee and then turned to move out of the area. As he turned, his foot was pinned between the extruder carriage and the floor stop, resulting in non-displaced fractures of the second and third metatarsals of the left foot. He was hospitalized.
