Abstract: At 2:30 a.m. on February 7, 2020, an employee was cleaning and sanitizing a FEMC Heat Sealer Double Model 1159 901 located in assembly line 5A. The employee was cleaning off plastic film material that was bound in the chain and sprocket assemblies of the sealer. The employee removed the guard to gain access to the lower sections of the machine. While the machine was still in operation with the guards removed, the employee's glove got caught on a part of the chain, gear or sprocket and pulled her hand into the machine. The employee was hospitalized to treat crushing injuries to her right ring and pinky fingers requiring surgery.
