Final narrative
An employee was operating a belt-driven pack out machine and was checking to see if the resin was plugging up the system. The employee's left hand got caught in the belt and pulley, resulting in fractures to all five fingers and an amputation of the ring finger at the second knuckle. The machine was unguarded at the time.
