Narrative

An employee was operating a fleshing machine when an animal hide became stuck in the roller system. As the employee attempted to remove the hide, the employee's left hand was pinched between a rotating chain and sprocket, partially amputating the third digit fingertip and avulsing the second and fourth digits. The machine was guarded and was not locked/tagged out at the time.
