Narrative

An employee was working on a line in a chicken breast processing department. The employee was clearing a jam (consisting of two full chickens, minus the wings and legs). One of the chicken bodies contacted the employee's right hand, causing it in turn to make contact with a rotating 12-inch saw. The employee's middle finger was amputated.
