Narrative

An employee was working in the fabrication shop manually fitting a chain for the motor to the fish weir drum drive shaft. The employee pulled on the chain to check the operation when his left little finger was caught between the chain and the sprocket. As the employee pulled his finger free, the left little fingertip was amputated.
