Narrative

On January 29, 2021, two employees were sweeping shot off a 10,000-pound metal plate, which was moving on a conveyor. One employee's glove was caught in a moving roller, causing his hand to be pinched between the roller and bottom of the metal plate. He suffered two fingertip amputations and two crushed fingers.
