Narrative

An employee was using a push pole to move an overhead laundry bag along the automated conveyor system. The computer overfilled the bag with blankets and sheets, causing the 600-pound bag to rip. The bag and its contents fell and struck the employee. He sustained a vertebral fracture in his back and was hospitalized.
