Narrative

An employee was working on the end of a spiral cooling conveyor belt. During cooling activities, the employee bent over and placed their hand at the end of the cooling conveyor belt.

The employee's middle finger was caught between the conveyor and the free spinning wheel resulting in an amputation injury.
