Narrative

On March 26, 2018, at approximately 11:35 a.m., an employee was moving wire through the rollers of a strander machine when the employee's glove was caught between the wire and roller. The employee's right ring finger was then pulled into the in-running nip point, resulting in a fingertip amputation.
