Narrative

An employee was working with a dual flow steam diaphragm on a 500-pound lathe machine. A machine part came off the spindle, colliding with machine guarding doors and causing a door to come loose and fall outward from the machine. The door struck the employee, knocking them to the floor and pinning them from the waist down. The employee sustained a broken pelvis and was hospitalized.
