Investigation Summary
At 10:30 a.m. on March 22, 2017, Employee #1 was using the Eubanks tube cutting machine to cut two inch lengths of tubing. Static electricity had built up on the plastic tubing, causing it to clump at the outfeed. When this occurs, the employees are trained to tap on the bottom of the metal chute to discharge the static and release the clumped cut tubing. The employee reached under the guard, over the top of the chute, and swept the pieces away from the machine. When doing this, her right index finger entered the point of operations and the pad of her right index finger was amputated.
