## Narrative

An employee had been using a forklift to put drums full of honey into an oven. One drum fell over when he put it into the oven, so he hopped into the oven to try and get it back into place. In the process, the agitator shaft caught his clothing and began to spin him around. His legs touched the top heat coils and sustained third-degree burns.
