Final narrative
An employee was pushing a box of plastic caps through the traffic arm on a conveyor system, which opened to allow the box to pass. The employee had his other hand resting on top of the hinged component of the traffic arm and as the arm moved, it pinched and amputated his finger. The traffic arm was unguarded at the time.
