Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was working where a mat exits at the end of a mine mat machine; this machine punches, forms, and straightens mine mats. A mat became stuck after partially exiting and the employee turned off the machine to locate the problem. He reached over to the control panel to turn on the machine, intending to pull on the end of the mat to help it out, when he inadvertently pushed the start and reverse buttons at the same time. The fingers on his left hand were sticking down through a slot that had been punched in the mat and when he pushed the buttons, the mat reversed, pulling his hand back into the machine. The machine stopped his hand, but the mat continued reversing, resulting in parts of three fingers being amputated.
