Final narrative
An employee was performing maintenance on and cleaning a conveyor that moves powders up to a reactor when he noticed powder coming out of an elbow on the conveyor's powder tube. As he was checking the powder's consistency, his right index finger pushed through the powder and was caught in the conveyor's belt linkage, amputating his fingertip.
