Abstract: On February 13, 2003, Employee #1 was feeding a Moulder machine when a plug up occurred. Employee #1 called the operator over to un-jam the machine. As the operator was attempting to unplug the machine, Employee #1 thought he observed a piece of wood material stuck in by cutting heads as the heads were still turning. As Employee #1 reached into the machine in order to pull out the wood debris, his thumb made contact with the turning knifes and was amputated.
