Narrative

On April 19, 2024, an employee was removing a waste bin from a water jet machine. He rolled it out from under the waste tube platform before trying to clear some waste from the waste tube. Rotating blades within the tube contacted his hand, resulting in amputations of the index, middle, and ring fingers at the first joint.
