Narrative

An employee was washing out an eviscerator machine when the water hose got tangled under the frame of the vacuum pump. As he worked to untangle the hose, he lost balance and started to fall, catching his left hand in the eviscerator. The eviscerator spoon caused an amputation to a finger and ruptured a flexor tendon.
