Narrative

The employee was working at the stacker end of the cut to length line. The table in the stacker was being raised to be at the same elevation as the conveyor on the cut to length line so product could begin to be stacked. The employee went to remove a board from the table and his right middle finger was caught between the board on the table and the stacker resulting in a fingertip amputation.
