Narrative

An employee was performing preventive maintenance (oiling and lubrication) on a packaging conveyor when the employee saw something on the chain and attempted to wipe it off. The chain caught the tip of the employee's glove and pulled their hand into the drive chain and sprocket, resulting in an amputation to the right index finger.
