## Narrative

An employee was inspecting the bolts connecting the conveyor to the belt in the packing area when a container got caught in the gap between the conveyor and belt. When the employee went to clear the container from the belt, he lost his balance and caught his fall with his hand on the belt. His arm was then pulled into the gap between the conveyor and the roller, resulting in a fractured wrist, two fractures in his forearm, and muscular injury to the arm.
