Final narrative
An employee was doing preventative maintenance on a conveyor. After applying oil to the chain and sprockets, the employee used a rag to clean up spilled oil. The rag and the employee's right middle finger got caught in the chain and sprocket. About 1/4 inch of the fingertip was amputated. The machine was not guarded at the time.
