Employee lacerates finger while fixing tangled drive chain

At 4:30 a.m. on February 17, 2022, an employee was attempting to fix a tangled drive chain. A coworker accidentally started the motor, and the employee's left ring finger became caught in the drive chain, lacerating the tip of his finger. The employee's fingernail had to be removed at a later time by a physician and the distal phalanx had to be shaved down in order to close the wound.
