## Narrative

An employee was removing a clog in the line from the silos to the holding tank. After getting the product to clear, the employee turned the rotary valve back on and cleared more material out of the way. When the employee stood up, their right hand went into the rotary valve resulting in amputation of the distal end of their index finger just past the nail. There were no lock out/tag out procedures in place at the time.
