Final narrative
An employee was performing a die change during a product change-over. The employee removed the chute and used a metal tool to scrap debris from the opening. The tool became caught in the auger, which pulled the tool and the employee's hand into the auger blade. The employee sustained complete amputations to the four fingers on the right hand. The auger was not locked/tagged out and was running at the time of the incident.
