Narrative

An employee had adjusted the tension on a machine's chain/belt, then energized the machine to evaluate its operation. His hand slipped into the chain area; his finger was caught between the chain and sprocket, and he suffered partial amputations to the left ring and middle fingers. At the time of the incident, the machine's lockout/tagout had been removed and the chain area was unguarded.
