Narrative

An employee was feeding boards into a moulder when the machine jammed. As the employee went to remove the jammed board, the moulder head contacted his left ring and little fingers, resulting in fractures. The left ring finger was subsequently amputated at the knuckle closest to the palm of his hand.
