Narrative

On January 10, 2019, an employee was helping in the operation of a sheet metal slitting machine and was operating a sheet metal re-coiling machine. He was trying to tighten up the sheet metal coil before banding it. As the coil turned, his right pinky finger was caught in a pinch point between the coil and the tensioning bar of the re-coiler. The finger was cut about halfway through and was later surgically amputated just below the first knuckle.
