Investigation Summary
At 11:15 a.m. on May 6, 2015, an employee was aligning cages on a tire building machine. The employee removed the ring used for alignment while the cage was towards the end of the drum rather than the middle of it. He broke the plain of the light curtain and the cage moved quickly back to the null position, crushing three of his fingers to the first joint. The employee had to have all 3 fingers amputated to the first joint.
