Narrative

An employee was starting equipment with rollers that normally rotated in a outward motion to move stock away from the rollers, but had become a pinch point after maintenance. When the employee reached for stock, their left middle, ring, and little fingers got caught in the pinch point, resulting in amputations to the first knuckle.
