Narrative

An employee was opening and adjusting the gate flow using a ratchet to clear the dust in the gate. When trying to clear out the dust, the ratchet went into the gate area and got caught on a conveyor. The employee's finger was pinched between the ratchet and the expanded metal grating, resulting in amputation.
