Narrative

On June 21, 2023, at approximately 11:45 a.m., an employee climbed a dock plate at a customer site to avoid heavy rain. While reaching with his left hand to support his footing, his gloved left hand contacted a powered conveyor chain that was next to the dock area. His left ring fingertip was medically amputated.
