Abstract: Employee #1 was working the commercial line at the infeed to a destacker. Bins were stacked three high. There were two sections of conveyors, one for staging the bins and another to charge the destacker. The conveyor chain under the bins started to slip. Employee #1 placed a C clamp on the conveyor chain to help push the bins forward as he held onto the C clamp. Employee #1 hung onto the C clamp as it passed around the sprocket and chain drive and tried to remove the C clamp that was hung up. Apparently, Employee #1's fingers were caught between part of the conveyor's framework and the C clamp. The tips of Employee #1's index finger and middle finger on his right hand were severed at the first joint.
