## Narrative

An employee was using a large screwdriver to break up and remove debris from the top of crumble rolls. The screwdriver became caught in the machine and the employee's left little finger was pinched between the screwdriver and the machine's guard, resulting in a severe laceration and fracture. The injury required surgical amputation of the first digit just behind the nail bed.
