Abstract: At 9:00 a.m. on September 13, 2018, an employee was operating a washout machine. He started to lube the chain on the washout machine while the machine was running. The employee was using a grease gun, however the grease was too thick and slow coming out of the gun so he squeezed some on his finger and applied it to the moving chain. His finger got caught between the chain and the sprocket and the tip of his left index finger was amputated.
