Narrative

On July 25, 2018, an employee was reaching around a tube to back a wax applicator out because it was applying too much wax when the employee's finger was caught between the wax applicator and the tube, resulting in a distal amputation to the right index fingertip. The equipment was unguarded at the time of the incident.
