## Narrative

An employee was troubleshooting a product non-conformance. While doing so, the employee suspected that the machine (tapering mill) had been set up or repaired incorrectly.

The employee was attempting to adjust the machine's tapering rollers when four left-hand fingers were caught and fractured in between the rollers.
