Employee amputates finger while unjamming packages

At 1:30 p.m. on November 10, 2019, an employee was watching packages on a conveyor line when the packages became jammed on the conveyor. The employee pushed down on the conveyer so the packages would fall into a reject area. When the conveyor raised back up, the employee's finger came into contact with the frame of the machine and resulted in an amputation to his left pinky finger. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
