Narrative

An employee was checking a leak at the bottom of a fluid bed machine. He was pushing the bowl back into the machine to prevent powder from leaking when his right ring finger was caught between the bowl and the machine, amputating his fingertip at the first knuckle. The machine was not running or powered on at the time.
