Narrative

On December 19, 2024, an employee was walking between a scribing machine and a conveyor (approximately 6-10" gap) to go to the back end of the machine. He was then struck by a 3-inch steel tube (I-beam) that pinned his right thigh against the conveyor. He was hospitalized with crush injuries to his right thigh and right hand, with a 2-centimeter laceration to his anterior thigh and circumference abrasions. The machine was not guarded at the time.
