Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:00 a.m. on May 24, 2017, Employee #1, a skilled tradesman, was tasked with fixing a problem on a roller conveyor. He had removed the guard on the conveyor to access the chains for maintenance. Employee #1 was feeling the air hose on the conveyor with his left hand for leaks.

Employee #1 was transported to a medical center, where he underwent treatment on the multiple finger amputation and was then hospitalized.
