Narrative

An employee was slicing thin like steak, and towards the end, he turned off the slicer, lifted the carriage and reached to retrieve the remaining product. As he reached, the blade had not come to a complete stop and the tip of the blade hit his right middle finger amputating the fingertip (soft tissue).
