Narrative

An employee was putting paper through the rolls on a machine when their gloved hand became entangled in the rollers. The employee's forearm was pulled into the machine between the belt-driven roller and a hot, steam-heated roller. The employee's right forearm sustained burn injuries that required hospitalization and surgical repair.
