Final narrative
On February 14, 2024, two employees were working on initial startup of an exhaust blower on a flexible packaging machine. After the employees partially interconnected duct work on the machine, the blower was started to check the direction of rotation. The injured employee's left hand got caught in a rotating impeller resulting in crush injuries to their left hand that resulted in amputations of the middle, ring, and little fingers.
