## Narrative

On August 19, 2019, an employee was slicing chicken on a meat slicer in automatic mode. He was trying to move the fence carriage closer to the meat to better hold it in place when the machine pushed his left thumb tip into the blade. As a result, he sustained an amputation to his left thumb tip.
