Narrative

On March 29, 2015, at approximately 3:00 p.m., an employee sustained an injury to the middle finger and index finger on his right hand, resulting in amputation. The site port cover was removed from the door-facing press to blow out the fiber incline conveyor. The conveyor was not shut down at the time. An air wand got caught between the conveyor and tail roller, and the employee's hand was pulled into the framework between the air wand and the conveyor housing.
