Narrative

At about 9:40 a.m. on August 16, 2019, a temporary employee was loading a spool of shrink-wrap on a shrink-wrap machine using an electric powered hoist. The hoist dropped the load onto the employee's finger while adjusting a roller tab that had to be in the vertical position for the roll to set in place. The employee suffered the amputation of the left middle fingertip.
