Narrative

While aligning a ring of anvils on a crusher, the employee (EE) used a chain that caught on the feeder, creating a pinch point. In trying to free it manually, the EE's finger was pinched, causing a crushing/laceration injury that required sutures. Contributing factors included the jammed chain, hand clearance, and exposed pinch point.
