Investigation Summary
On October 5, 2004, Employee #1 was working at a cotton bale wrapping machine. She was responsible for approving each cotton bale's weight and then allowing them to proceed into the bale wrapper. According to a supervisor, Employee #1 took it upon herself to push a bale to get it into the wrapper. This action activated switches that caused a push bar to activate. The push bar then struck Employee #1's left leg. She was hospitalized at UMC Hospital for a fractured leg.
