Investigation Summary
At 10:30 a.m. on December 18, 2020, an employee was attempting to fix a jam on the sprocket and chain of a machine without first deenergizing it. Suddenly, the sprocket engaged, causing the employee's left hand to become stuck in the mechanism. As a result, the employee suffered the amputation of four fingers (excluding the thumb) on the left hand. The employee was hospitalized.
