Abstract: At 9:45 a.m. on February 28, 2022, Employee #1 was tasked with loading an ink cy linder into the machine's cradle. Employee #1 went to silo 6; then came back to get a wrench. Employee #1 went to silo 6 to get a sample. Apparently the two-way radio was broken, because the operator never got the message to shut down the s ilo 6 rotator. Employee #1 opened the two rotary threaded caps as the machine wa s on. The employee took samples of the left cap, then the right. While taking s amples from the right with a spatula, Employee #1 went so far deep that the blad e from the rotary broke the blade. Employee #1 decided to get the visually broke n blade of the spatula, put his finger's in, and the incident happened. Employee #1 texted the operator if the rotary on silo 6 was on and to shut it down. Empl oyee #1 walked back to the building, where he was greeted by the managers to aid him.
