Final narrative
An employee was changing out the plastic core on a portable winder machine. After replacing the core, the employee turned on the machine and began to wind some material onto the new core. The employee's right hand then contacted the chuck of the winder, resulting in a right index finger fracture and partial amputation. The machine was not locked/tagged out at the time of the incident.
