Narrative

On August 31, 2019, an employee was guiding a roll of film into a pizza sauce machine that was being lowered with an overhead hoist when the employee's hand was caught between the film roll shaft and the cradle of the pizza sauce machine. The employee pulled her hand back and received an amputation of the right index fingertip. The unbalanced film roll struck her on the right side of her face between the nose and cheek, causing blunt trauma to the face. She was hospitalized.
