Abstract: At 2:00 p.m. on November 30, 2017, an employee was working as a heat treat operator for a firm that manufactured powder metallurgy part. He was working on the "Holcroft line" and was loading parts into a heavy metal tray on a conveyor line leading to a furnace. The conveyor belt moved automatically. The employee had his left hand on the conveyor. When the conveyor moved forward, the employee's left index finger became caught in the pinch point between the metal parts basket and the roller on the conveyor. The index finger on his left hand was amputated. He was transported to an area hospital for treatment. No other environmental factors contributed to the occurrence of this incident. The narrative did not say whether or not he was hospitalized.
