Abstract: At 5:00 p.m. on July 19, 2020, an employee started a tabber assembly machine to ensure that it was operating within a preset parameter as part of a troubleshooting process. The employee bypassed a door panel safety sensor in order to expedite visual inspection. With one of the panel doors open, the employee attempted to adjust a wire base by placing his right hand underneath it. The wire base came down on his hand and partially amputated his middle finger, requiring hospitalization.
