Narrative

An employee was helping a second employee feed corrugated fiberboard sheets into a slotter machine at approximately 16:15. They determined that a piece of tape was creating issues with the sheets as they fed them into the machine. The first employee was attempting to remove a piece of the tape when the machine cut his left little finger, resulting in an amputation.
