Narrative

An employee got up on a stepladder to remove debris from inside an ~8-inch by 8-inch window opening on the chill roll machine. The employee's fingers contacted the rotating parts of the machine, amputating some fingertips (no bone loss) and requiring hospitalization. The machine was not shut off at the time of the incident.
