Narrative

An employee was removing a hook from an outfeed table that pulls tubes through the annealing furnace. The hook did not come off the chain and table on its own. The employee noticed the hook still attached and went to unhook the table. The hook and chain were still moving. The employee's right finger was smashed between the hook and chain and the fingertip was amputated.
