Narrative

An employee was attempting to clear a jam of material from a trim conveyor on the back side of a strip caster when his finger was caught in the chain drive sprocket. His left ring finger was amputated just below the first knuckle. The chain was unguarded and the conveyor was not locked out at the time of the incident.
