Narrative

A maintenance crew was working on a belt attached to a chip feeder with the guarding on. After the belt was fixed, the guarding was removed, signaling that the machine was again operational. The injured employee's hand was near the machine at the time, and when it came back on, the employee's hand was injured. A quarter of the bone in the left thumb was lost due to the injury.
