Narrative

An employee helped install a new blade on the bun slicer section of a production line. Upon restarting the production line, a bun was misaligned and the employee attempted to straighten it. The slicer blade contacted the employee's right hand, resulting in amputation of the index finger and lacerations to the other fingers.
