Narrative

Two operator technicians were processing side trim coils on a repair line when scrap on the north side became jammed in the scrap chute. The employee stopped the line and went to clear the scrap buildup as the other employee jogged the machine to realign the scrap for the other employee to remove. The injured employee's left hand was then caught on the scrap chopper and his left index, middle, and ring fingers were crushed.
