Narrative

An employee was removing residual meat particles from the sprocket of the crossover conveyor belt in the packing area. While doing so, the conveyor started and his fingers were caught between the metal framework and the belt, resulting in amputations to the middle and ring fingers on the left hand as well as skin damage to the right hand.
