Narrative

On March 11, 2025, an employee was preparing to change the stock roll in the first ply let-off of a tire-building machine. When the employee lifted the stock, the rubber proved to be stuck to the liner; the employee's left arm was pulled around the liner guide roller, and the employee suffered a compound fracture to the forearm. They were hospitalized.
