Final narrative
An employee was manufacturing a replacement shaft for a malfunctioning conveyor. To polish the shaft, the employee placed emery cloth around it while it was turning in the lathe. The employee was caught by their glove and pulled into the spinning equipment, suffering lacerations around the shoulder, neck, and ear; a puncture behind the left ear; and an amputation of the left index finger between the first and second knuckles.
