Narrative

On August 4, 2019, a maintenance mechanic was tracking plastic film through a package-sealing machine during a setup process. A film clip caught the mechanic's jacket, pulling the mechanic's right hand toward the chain and gear. The mechanic suffered amputation of the middle and fourth fingertips.
