Narrative

Two employees were operating a debarker machine. Bark had built up on the two limit switches, which caused the carriage to stop moving. One of the employees went down into the machine to wipe the limit switches off. His left hand was caught in the machine, and the chain and sprocket pulled in his arm. His left forearm was amputated.
