Narrative

On October 20, 2021, an employee had just changed a roll former machine from one metal size to another and was setting up the machine for a new production order. He was reaching to retrieve a metal piece coming out of the machine when the chain and sprocket that drove the kicker wheel caught his right glove. His ring finger was amputated at the first knuckle, and he was hospitalized.
