Abstract: At 1:00 p.m. on February 18, 2021, Employee #1, a line operator for the Dubois Lateral Dryer machine, was working on the assembly line at a manufacturing facility. This automated machine uses chain pulleys to move single slats of wood through a dryer and into the next section of the line. A board became stuck while exiting the oven, causing a jam. While attempting to dislodge the board by hand, Employee #1's fingers were caught in the machine's moving chain, resulting in the amputation of the tip of one finger. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
