At 9:24 a.m. on October 26, 2021, an employee was working with a coworker who was using a level handle dolly to raise a lathe in a graphite machining work area. While the employee was positioned to place a skate dolly underneath the lathe once the coworker had raised the lathe far enough, the lathe tipped over and the bar connected to the lathe struck the employee in the face. The employee was treated for a laceration to the head but was not hospitalized. The employee was working at the manufacturer as a placement through a staffing agency, and no additional information is available on the incident.
