Narrative

An employee was using a plastic rod to knock shredded polymer off the underside of a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt pulled the rod into the bottom frame. As the employee went to retrieve the rod, the belt pulled his right glove and his ring finger was lacerated and crushed between the belt and the frame. The finger was fractured and required hospitalization and surgery.
