Abstract: At 5:30 a.m. on May 30, 2021, an employee working as a laborer for a paper mill was helping to push a roll of paper that was stuck on a conveyor belt. The paper roll was sideways and as the employee and coworkers were pushing the roll in an attempt straighten it. At this time, a coworker removed the chock that was holding the paper causing the paper to begin to roll. The crew could not stop the roll as it began to roll. The crew ran to get out of the way, but the employee fell on loose paper on the floor and the roll struck her and ran up her leg. The employee was hospitalized to treat a fractured pelvis.
