Narrative

An employee was training a new operator to transverse (cross) a casting machine. The machine's wheels were lowered to the transverse track while the employee was reaching under the wheel assembly to remove debris from the track. The wheels crushed the fingers of his right hand, causing amputations to the index, middle, and ring fingertips.
