## Narrative

On January 22, 2024, an employee was preparing to run carrot sticks through the line of a machine with a conveyor belt that shakes the carrots to separate smaller pieces. The belt caught the employee's glove and pulled his finger into a pulley, partially amputating the right thumb below the nailbed. The machine was guarded at the time.
