Narrative

On June 6, 2018, at approximately 7:15 a.m., an employee was running the stacker on the brewer line when the employee reached into the notcher head to remove stringers from the machine. The employee's right hand then made contact with rotating parts, resulting in amputations of the ring, middle, and index fingers. The machine was running and guarded at the time of the incident.
