Narrative

An employee was using a machine to put corrugation bends in flat sheet metal. The employee was feeding a new roll of sheet metal into the machine when his glove got caught by the first series of rollers and an adjacent chain and sprocket. The rollers crushed the employee's arm which required surgery and hospitalization.
