Narrative

On April 23, 2020, at approximately 8:25 p.m., an employee was adjusting the position of a conveyor belt. He grabbed the belt with both hands in order to pull the belt over. As he was pulling the belt over, the fingers on his left hand were pinched between the belt and roller, amputating his left ring fingertip and fracturing his left middle finger.
