## Narrative

On December 16, 2024, at approximately 3:07 p.m., an employee was feeding frozen fish blocks via a conveyor belt into a floor mounted electrically powered grinder. The grinder became jammed with the fish material. The worker deenergized the machine and used a rolling ladder to climb approximately 4 feet in the air to unjam it. As the fish block became dislodged, the momentum of the action caused the fish block to slam down on her right thumb and the machine, causing a partial amputation of the thumb tip.
