Abstract: At approximately 7:52 a.m. on March 21, 2011, Employee #1, an experienced paint production worker, was holding and attaching a strainer bag to a small elevated paint container in a large paint mixer on the floor. The small elevated container was feeding into the large mixer that contained a revolving shaft. The shaft caught the bottom of the strainer bag and pulled the bag and Employee #1's right hand into it. The large mixer, Serial Number 3148713, was 50 inches in diameter and 42 inches off of the floor, and was running on 220-440 volts. The small elevated paint container was on a lift, and it was 3 feet in diameter and 52 inches from the floor level. The paint mixer was not deenergized, as recommended by the manufacturer. Employee #1 sustained a broken right wrist and amputation of four fingers. He was hospitalized for treatment.
