Final narrative
An employee was re-tensioning the pulleys on a conveyor belt in a shipping merge. He restarted the conveyor and his right index finger got caught in the belt, which pulled it into a pulley and amputated the top of the finger just past the fingertip. The pulleys were not guarded at the time of the incident.
