Final narrative
An employee had been working to fill lump charcoal into 40-pound bags when the crusher jammed. He was standing at the filling station and went to clear the machine. The employee's gloved right hand was pulled into a belt and pulley, causing the amputation of his little finger and a severe laceration to his ring finger. The employee was hospitalized and required surgery. The machine was guarded and locked out/tagged out at the time.
