Narrative

On 12/25/2023, at approximately 1:00 PM, a converting pulp mill was plugged up. An employee was going to use compressed air to clean the machine. He thought he dropped a baffle behind the teeth of the machine. When he reached for the baffle, his cut-resistant glove was caught by the teeth (blades). The employee sustained a laceration and partial amputation to the right index finger.
