Narrative

Two employees were using a chain and a forklift to remove a broken part from an extruder machine. As they ran the chain through the inside part of the lift, the chain struck the shifter and put the forklift into drive. The injured employee got caught between the forklift and the machine conveyor line, resulting in a broken collar bone and broken ribs.
