Employee Suffers Amputation of Finger

Employee #1 was cleaning the chain on a chain-and-sprocket drive of a greenhouse watering machine. Employee #1 apparently reattached the electric power cord and wiped the chain with a rag as another employee operated the controller to start the machine. The sprocket grabbed the rag and the Employee #1's finger tip was severely smashed in the drive. Employee #1's fingertip had to be surgically removed, and he was hospitalized.
