Narrative

The injured employee was assisting another employee with a wheel turn up (changing papers) on a paper machine. The paper sheet was not following the new spool. The employees were using a 5-foot wooden pole to tuck. The pole hit a nip point, causing the end of the pole to whip and strike the injured employee's left hand. The employee sustained multiple fractures to their hand.
