## Narrative

A temporary employee was cleaning the outside of a cylinder on a cream filling machine. The machine had been turned on so that leftover product could drain from it. The paper towel the employee was using fell into the cylinder, and as the employee went to retrieve it, the blade inside the cylinder amputated the tip of his right middle finger.
