Narrative

An employee was working on the green stacker laying sticks. As the last course of lumber was coming towards the employee, a paper ticket blew off. The employee pulled the e-stop and picked up the ticket and handed it to another employee (the injured employee) who contacted the machine amputating the right ring finger.
