Narrative

An employee was inspecting a conveyor shaft, reported as making an irregular sound and vibrating, on the unload side of a pod. The belt on the underside of the running conveyor caught the employee's left middle finger and pulled it into a nip point between the driven shaft and a non-driven shaft. The employee suffered a fingertip amputation.
