Final narrative
An employee was adjusting the lumber on a chain conveyor when the chain came off the sprocket. His left hand was caught by the chain and sprocket pulley as he tried to put the chain back on the sprocket, partially amputating his pinky finger (first knuckle), fracturing his ring finger, and damaging the ligaments on his other fingers. The chain conveyor was moving at the time of the incident.
