Incident on Jan 17, 2018: Employee's finger tip is amputated in washer conveyor

On 1:35 p.m. on January 17, 2018, an employee was cleaning the conveyor of a Jenfab 30mm Projectile Training Round Parts washer. The machine was not powered down and as the employee reached into the machine to remove one of the parts, their nitrile glove on their right hand became caught in the links of the washer conveyor. The conveyor moved pulling the tip of the employee's right ring finger into it resulting in a partial amputation of the finger.
