Abstract: At 6:45 p.m. on February 20, 2020, an employee working for a grocery store was operating a baler compressing cardboard into a bale. Once the cardboard was baled and the baling wires installed, the employee proceeded to start the bailer to eject the bail. When a piece of cardboard got stuck and the bail failed to eject, the employee attempted to pull on the bail while standing on a wooden pallet. When the bail suddenly cut loose, the employee lost his balance fell backwards hitting his head on the ground. The employee sustained a concussion and contusion to his head, requiring hospitalization.
