Narrative

An employee was packaging brick when a brick broke and became jammed between the back plate and the jig side. When the jig cycled, the broken brick caused the jig to buckle. As the employee was putting brick into the jig, his left wrist struck the outer side of the buckled jig, resulting in a contusion that required hospitalization.
