At 1:25 p.m. on April 14, 2021, Employee #1 was oiling a chain on a food metal detector while holding a rag under the chain to prevent excess oil from dripping on the floor.

The employee's hand was drawn into the sprocket, resulting in the amputation of the tips of the ring and middle fingers. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
