Narrative

An employee was working in the extrusion department helping another employee remove a stuck ball of aluminum from the rollers of the roll-out table. The hot aluminum ball fell from the table and pinned the employee's leg against the table, resulting in second-and-third-degree burns to the employee's thigh and stomach.
