Narrative

An employee went to check a time-out on a blender tank that was jammed. He was trying to clear the jam when the blender's slide gate closed on and amputated his left ring, middle, and pointer fingertips. The blender cover was removed at the time of the incident. An employee was collecting plastic sheets from a table and got his finger caught on the green band on the table roller resulting in amputation of the right pinky finger. Note to user: This record contains two separate events that were reported simultaneously to OSHA by the employer. These events are captured as one report.
