Abstract: At approximately 9:30 a.m. on January 19, 2017, Employee #1 and a coworker were cleaning a rotating table on a cup filler machine with a cloth. The cup filler machine was equipped with a heat sealant and cup holder plate. The coworker activated the machine while Employee #1's right hand was inside the table and cleaning it. As she wiped the rotating table, the machine's heat sealant came down to her right index finger and amputated it. Employee #1 was transported to a medical center, where she received treatment and was then hospitalized.
