Narrative

2 employees were working on a palletizer, but only one of them had it locked out. When the locked out employee was done, they asked the other employee if they were clear, and heard ""yes"". The other employee was still working, and when the machine was started, their right hand was caught, amputating the index finger, and degloving the middle finger.
