Employee's finger is caught and crushed by rotating bars

At 3:45 p.m. on July 25, 2017, Employee #1 was watching the foreman run metal parts into the Carell Fabrication Machine. When the foreman was finished, he told the employee to continue running the parts. Employee #1 was feeding the metal to be turned into the machine, while pressing the foot control pedal. The employee held the part on its side, but did not let go, and the rollers pulled his hand into the machine. Employee #1's right pinky finger was pulled in and crushed by the rotating bars.
