Narrative

At the packaging area in the facility, there was a piece of plastic hanging up to block cold air from a shrink tunnel cooler from blowing towards an employee's work station. The employee was placing a sticker to hold the plastic in place when her finger contacted the return side of the conveyor belt and was pinched between the belt and a metal support leg. The employee sustained an amputation to her left second digit below the first joint.
