Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was operating a Multivac packaging machine. When she finished the shift, she lifted the conveyor, which also acted as a guard while the machine was in operation, to cut the film. As she was holding the cut film, the machine indexed and caught her finger between the dies of the vacuum forming section of the packaging machine. The distal aspect of her left ring finger was amputated.
