At 7:30 a.m. on October 30, 2021, Employee # 1, a maintenance technician, and a coworker, a changeover technician, were completing preventative maintenance on an RP-16 Kliklok Vari-Straight Topload Carton Closer when a malfunction was observed upon machine start-up. Employee #1 attempted to flag the machine's proximity sensor with his right hand.

He was hospitalized.
