Narrative

Two employees locked out/tagged out a screw for digging out rubber, which caused the paddle screw to get stuck. They removed the rubber from the paddle screw, removed the lock out/tag out, and restarted the machine. When it restarted, the injured employee's right leg became entangled in the paddle screw, resulting in a fractured leg.
