Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170736292

Event: 10/04/1996

Employee's arm injured when caught in molding machine

Employee #1, of Ryan Manufacturing, was with a maintenance supervisor, inspecting the #3 machine for problems. While the supervisor looked at the machine, Employee #1 walked to the operator's door located on its opposite side. He noticed a plastic blow-molded bottle stuck on the mold, and opened the door to clear it away. He was reaching in when the maintenance supervisor, thinking the problem was the clamp forward sequence, pushed the control circuit relays 3CR and 5CR. These activated the hydraulic valves and directed oil to the cylinder, causing the mold to close on Employee #1's left hand and arm. Employee #1 immediately hit the STOP button. He sustained injuries that required hospitalization.
