Final narrative
An employee was replacing a bearing in a space heater when his leather glove was caught at the edge of the separator bar (the rotating mechanism inside of the heater) as it turned. His right thumb was caught between the separator bar and the outer shroud (the heater's fan with a filtration system) and was amputated from the first joint.
