Abstract: At 1:30 p.m. on May 16, 2019, an employee was preparing to install a wiring harness on the base of an outside air conditioning unit being manufactured. The base of the unit contained the compressor and two sets of wires, one of which had fallen and was caught in a section of the chain and sprocket on the conveyor. The employee reached into the machinery and attempted to remove the fallen wire set with both of her hands when they were both caught in between the chain and sprocket. The employee amputated the middle fingertips on both hands and was hospitalized.
