Narrative

Two mechanics were working to replace bearings on a cooling rack on a mixer. The mechanics were rotating the chain around the sprocket by hand to get to the master link chain. The chain slipped and an employee's right hand was caught between the chain and the sprocket resulting in amputation of the middle fingertip.
