Narrative

An employee was on a roller conveyor attempting to replace a chain on a sprocket to get a pipe to move. Another pipe was placed on the conveyor, causing the sprocket to move. Both of the employee's hands were then caught in the sprocket, amputating the left index finger at the first knuckle and the left middle fingertip.
