Narrative

At 12:04 p.m. on June 21, 2021, an employee was dumping 50-pound bags of ground caraway into a hopper through a screen. The product bridged in the hopper, so the employee slid the screen out of the way and began pushing the product down. The screw feed auger at the bottom of the hopper nipped his right index finger, causing an amputation.
