Investigation Summary
At 10:32 p.m. on January 2, 2022, an employee, a thermal forming lead, was pushing a 3673-pound roll of PET on a roll stand of a Lyle Industries, 152FMSPD65, thermoforming machine. The employee was attempting to maneuver the roll into position when the left shaft of the roll came off of the side railing of the stand. This caused the roll to fall off the roll stand and pin the employee's lower left leg to the frame of the roll stand. The employee was hospitalized for five days to treat a fractured tibia of his left leg.
