Narrative

An employee was performing routine maintenance on a cracker, which involves removing corrugated rolls and replacing them with new rolls. The employee was putting the machine back together and installing belts and sheaves (pulleys) when a pulley slipped or fell, and caught their fingers against the floor. The employee's right ring fingertip was amputated.
