Abstract: Employee #1 was using a rag to clean a chain sprocket. Employee #1 is a moulder and feeder grader and cleaning the sprocket was not part of his regular duty. He was assisting the moulder operator in cleaning the chain and sprocket. It appears the moulder operator was using the lock out procedure, but Employee #1, who was assisting, was not. Employee #1 had been trained in lock out procedures. The chain caught the rag and pulled Employee #1's hand into the chain and sprocket. Employee #1 was hospitalized with an amputation of his hand.
