Narrative

The injured employee was working alongside a trainer. The trainer was adjusting the side fences that hold the wood in place as it passes through the molder. The injured employee was using compressed air to clean the area. They went to remove a sliver of wood to prevent a potential jam. The rollers activated, which processed material through the machine, caught the employee s glove, and pulled their hand toward the cutting head of the molder. The employee sustained lacerations to their right middle and ring fingers and an amputation to the distal phalanx of the middle finger.
