Narrative

On January 15, 2020, an employee was working at a welding machine and holding the tarp as it came out of the machine. As the machine began to cut the tarp, the employee attempted to cut the corner of the tarp with scissors. The machine's blade then contacted his finger, resulting in a partial amputation of the left fifth digit.
