Narrative

An employee was working on an industrial washer. He was trying to get the drum to rotate when it moved unexpectedly, pulling his finger into the nip point of the belt and pulley. It then rocked back, discharging his finger from the nip point. The employee's pinky finger was amputated. The machine had been locked out at the time of the incident.
