Abstract: At approximately 4:00 p.m. on June 9, 2004, Employee #1 and a coworker, thermoforming operators, were positioning a new plastic roll on an unwinding stand. Employee #1 was standing to the right of the unwinding stand, while her coworker manually pulled the plastic from the roll to feed into the rolls of the thermoforming machine. Employee #1 began to lose her balance and placed her right hand on one of the horizontal rails that help guide the plastic rolls into the roll holder of the unwinding stand. The plastic rolled over her right index finger, severing it. Employee #1 transported to a medical facility, where she was treated for her injury.
