Narrative

An employee was trying to grab a box of product to turn it around on a conveyor so the label on the box was facing the correct direction. Her gloved left hand slipped off of the box and was caught in the in-going nip point on the chain and sprocket, causing amputations to her left ring and pinky fingers.
