Narrative

Grinding Operator reached through a gap between two guards to remove a plugged spray bar at the 2B conveyor. While attempting to remove the spray bar, it contacted the conveyor and wrapped around the bend pulley. The spray bar was ripped from the operator's hand resulting in a partial amputation of the operator's right ring finger tip.
