Final narrative
A temporary employee was working in the copper mill watching the grinding machine to ensure it did not jam up with excess material. The employee was manually removing the excess material by reaching over the bar in front of the silo while the guard was removed when their glove and hand became caught in the grinding machine's rotor blades. The employee sustained a partial amputation of their right index finger.
