Narrative

An employee was working at an extrusion line and monitoring pipe as it came out of the extrusion machine. The employee went to prevent the production of a defective part and his hand passed through a sensor that triggered the action point for the machine. The machine's clamp came down to pick up the formed pipe and it fractured the employee's arm.
