Final narrative
On July 24, 2021, at 4:15 p.m., an employee and a co-worker were verifying prior work done on a machine. The employee had his hand in the freezer bar sealer area when the co-worker activated the machine by opening the air valve that powered the sealer. The sealer then closed on the employee's right hand, resulting in an open fracture and an amputation of the middle fingertip.
