Narrative

An employee was using a hand vacuum to clean up tea powder around a machine. Her cleaning rag fell off the side of the machine into a coned-shape opening where bags of material were being cut. She tried grabbing her rag with her left hand, but the rag was caught and pulled by the machine. As she tried pulling the rag out, her left index fingertip was cut by the machine blades.
