At 8:00 a.m. on October 18, 2019, an employee and a coworker, both milling operators, were cleaning the valves on a Semi Bulk Injector machine when the employee got his finger caught in a butterfly valve.

The employee suffered an amputation of his right index fingertip and was treated without hospitalization.
