Employee repairing seized machine amputates finger

At 1:30 p.m. on March 8, 2017, Employee #1 and Coworker #1, employed by a manufacturer of products used in meat processing, were working at a machine. They were attempting to free up a machine part that had seized. As Employee #1 applied lubricant to the affected area, Coworker #1 cycled the machine on and off. The affected machine part began moving and closed on Employee #1's right index finger. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was treated for the partial amputation of the finger.
