Narrative

An employee was working underneath a creel calender machine, using a tool to straighten/comb wires as they enter the creel. The employee's tool contacted a pressure roller and was pulled into a pinch point along with the employee's right hand resulting in amputations to the right thumb tip, and two other fingertips.
