Narrative

On February 3, 2023, an employee was placing and adjusting dock plates when his finger was caught on a case of yarn. This prevented the dock plate from extending properly into the trailer, and it pinched and fractured three of the employee's fingers. He was hospitalized, requiring surgery.
