Narrative

On 2/3/21 at 2:21 p.m., an employee was setting the rolls in a pellet mill using wrenches and an air blower to blow off the dust that accumulates. The employee's glove became caught in the roll, pulling his left hand in and amputating his ring and middle fingers. The nail and skin was removed from his index finger.
