## Narrative

An employee was removing a slab from a paper roll (to address two breaks that had happened near each other on the paper machine rewinder). The employee was tucking the paper back into the infeed between the bed roll and the finished roll when the nip point pulled the employee's arm in, about to the elbow. The employee suffered soft tissue damage.
