Final narrative
An employee was performing maintenance on a roller machine to clean a clogged vacuum hose under the roller. The employee turned the roller machine off. The rollers continued to move due to residual energy and caught the employee's left middle finger, causing a fingertip amputation. The machine was not locked out/tagged out or guarded at the time.
