Final narrative
An employee was performing preventive maintenance on the line 2 case erector, a machine that forms corrugated into a box. The employee was looking to see if a bearing was running smoothly in the machine and had a shop rag in his right hand. The rag got caught in the moving chain and sprocket assembly, pulling his right index finger into the assembly. The finger was severely lacerated and contorted such that it was amputated at the hospital.
