Narrative

An employee was operating a food packaging line that places a shrink sleeve band over the top of a plastic bottle. The rollers on the equipment jammed and the machine stopped. As the employee went to pull the shrink wrap down, the knife was triggered and contacted the employee's left thumb resulting in a partial amputation.
