Employee amputates three fingers in wire spool

At 10:00 a.m. on November 3, 2021, an employee was untwisting a loop on a loose welding wire before the wire closed on the spool in an attempt to keep a machine running. The wire closed down on the spool and caught the employee's fingers. As a result, the employee's index, middle and ring fingers on his right hand were pinched and partially amputation and the employee was hospitalized.
