Final narrative
An employee was finishing up repairs to the 4DC Up Elevator. The employee proceeded to pull slack out of the drive chain. After cleaning the teeth of the sprocket, the weight of the chain pinched the employee's finger between the chain and a sprocket resulting in the amputation of 3/8 inch of the tip of the left right finger. LOTO was used.
