Narrative

On 02/18/2020, at 9:15 a.m., an employee was working on a packaging line that was feeding film when product started jamming. As he attempted to get a better visual of the heat cramp sealer, his right hand was pulled into the heat cramp sealer area, resulting in a right thumb tip amputation. The heat cramp sealer was unguarded at the time of the incident.
