Final narrative
An employee was punching cases on an assembly line when he noticed a pair of pliers near the chain and sprocket. As he attempted to retrieve the pliers, the chain snagged his glove, pulling his middle finger between the chain and sprocket and amputating his fingertip. The machine was active and unguarded at the time of the incident.
