Narrative

An employee was attempting to remove dried lead paste from a paddle at the outlet of a hopper when his glove became caught on a sprocket or drive chain on the hopper. His right middle finger was pulled approximately 1/2 inch into the chain, amputating it at the first knuckle. The chain was unguarded at the time.
