Narrative

On or about August 20, 2015 at approximately 4:40 p.m., an employee received a hand injury while working on the pepper production line. The employee was feeling dizzy and went to sit on a small roller conveyor. As he sat down, he put his hand on a moving chain conveyor, which pulled his finger into the sprocket and partially amputated it.
