Narrative

An employee was operating a bag-making machine. One of the bags had lodged at the point between the machine and the offloading chute. While the employee was trying to clear it, the machine cycled and the press plate closed, pinching and injuring her fingertip. The nail and a small part of the fingertip were torn off. The machine was guarded at the time of the incident.
