Narrative

An employee was carrying out a preventative maintenance inspection on a robotic picker. As the employee was moving metal lift bands to inspect for damage and tears, they tangled around the support structure of the robot service grid. When the employee went to free the bands, the banding severely lacerated the employee's left hand and index finger.
