Final narrative
On December 3, 2024, at approximately 11:30 PM, electronic technicians were adjusting a tensioning chain on an elevator on a palletizer that had become unlevel. After loosening the tensioners and creating slack in the chain, the injured employee was placing the tensioning chain back onto the sprocket. While moving the chain it regained tension and their left middle fingertip was caught between the chain and the sprocket and was amputated.
