Narrative

An employee was using an air hose to blow built-up dough off the rollers under the cutting apron on a conveyor belt line. The air stopped working and they went to manually remove the dough when their right hand was pulled into the pinch point between the apron and roller. The employee was hospitalized with a fracture to their right forearm that required surgery.
