Narrative

An employee was sitting on a stool on the back side of the insertion press with their legs resting on the rollers where tanks are heated to finalize shell insertion. The insertion press cycled the up ender and it caught the employee's leg between the up ender and the rollers, causing a compound fracture to his lower left leg.
