Narrative

An employee was being trained to use the band saw. The employee knocked the blade of the saw with the meat, knocking it out of its guide. The employee used the meat hook in his hand to pull the moving blade back into its guide. The moving blade jerked the hook pulling his right index finger into the blade resulting in amputation at the first knuckle.
