Employee falls and fractures leg and hip on stretch wrapper

At 4:20 p.m. on January 21, 2020, an employee was using an Orion Model L-77S Spiral Semi-Automatic Medium Low Profile Stretch-Wrapper on a "light load" pallet of printed materials in preparation for shipment. The employee accessed an unguarded point of operation area in the turn-table.

The employee fractured his femur and hip and required hospitalization, hip replacement surgery and rehabilitation.
