NAICS industry code: 311812

Two employees were viewing part of a conveyor line that had malfunctioned earlier. One employee gestured toward the conveyor system with his left hand. While stepping toward the system, he lost his balance. He attempted to steady himself on the conveyor frame, but his left hand slipped too far into the conveyor. The tabletop caught his gloved hand and pulled it into the transfer conveyor, partially amputating his left middle and ring fingertips.
