Employee sustains partial fingertip amputation due to nip po

At 5:15 a.m. on March 26, 2021, Employee #1 was sorting incoming packages on Sort Tower 6. While attempting to pick up a package that had become stuck on top of a transition plate between conveyor belts, Employee #1's right index finger became caught between the moving conveyor belt and the transition plate. As a result, Employee #1 sustained a partial fingertip amputation. Lack of effective machine guarding likely contributed to the incident. Employee #1 was treated without hospitalization.
