Investigation Summary
At 8:00 p.m. on March 25, 2021, the employee returned from break and restarted equipment. The equipment jammed, and the employee attempted to clear the jam. While doing so, the employee noticed a cardboard sticker and attempted to remove it while the cutting heads were still in motion. In the process, his left hand was caught in the bottom cutting head, resulting in the amputation of the pinky and ring fingers at the second knuckle. The employee was treated without hospitalization. The incident was caused by unguarded moving machinery and a misjudgment of the situation.
