Narrative

An employee was working on a pasta-making machine. The employee had removed and cleaned the screw. He was trying to line the screw up to slide it back into the barrel. When the screw was tapped with a mallet, his finger was caught between the screw and the wall of the barrel, causing an amputation to the finger.
