Employee injured when finger caught in machine

At approximately 7:15 a.m. on December 14, 2001, Employee #1 was standing between two taping machines. As the employee was aligning the rails on the indexer of one of the machines, his right hand slipped down into the sprocket and chain drive mechanism, resulting in the amputation of the tip of his right ring finger. The employee was wearing gloves at the time of the accident. The chain guard on the machine was damaged and ineffective, creating an opening and exposing the sprockets to contact by the employee.
