Narrative

An employee was standing on a step stool, preparing an encapsulation machine to be cleaned by putting a piece of plastic over the top part of it. As he was tucking in the plastic with his right hand, the machine's front access door closed on his right index finger. The right fingertip was amputated under the nail.
