Narrative

An employee had just completed a visual inspection of a dust collection system. As he turned to leave the area, he stumbled and reached out to catch himself. His arm then landed near the outfeed roller conveyor of the planer machine. The employee sustained a laceration to his right forearm with the skin pulled back that required stitches and a skin graft. The employee also sustained a forehead laceration.
