Narrative

At about 5:20 p.m. on September 26, 2020, an employee was on a table about 2 1/2 feet high, checking for a blockage in a metal chute that deposited sirloin onto an overhead conveyor. The employee fell, and their right little finger became lodged between the chute and a metal shield used to prevent product from falling off the conveyor. The fingertip was amputated at the last joint.
