## Narrative

On 12/28/2020, while an employee was attempting to fix a pallet that was stuck to a palletizer, a photoelectric sensor on the palletizer tripped, causing a metal plate (apron) to retract. When the plate retracted, 11 cases of product dropped onto the employee's head, shoulder, and wrist, resulting in a small subarachnoid bleed and a sprain in their right wrist.
