Narrative

On June 21, 2019, an employee was visually inspecting product packaging seals on a conveyor. He went to grab a suspect package with both hands when his right pinky finger became stuck in the conveyor belt webbing, resulting in an amputation of tissue from the distal phalanx (nailbed to tip).
