Employees finger crushed by compactor

At approximately 9:30 p.m. on July 2, 1991, Employee #1 and a coworker were removing a compactor container away from a stationary vertical compactor. Employee #1 was reaching for the trigger switch under the compactor's vertical wall to open the container interlock circuit, when the coworker, not realizing that Employee #1's hand was on the trigger switch, pushed the compactor container backward. Employee #1's left middle finger was crushed. He was transported at Saint Francis Memorial Hospital, where his finger was amputated. The employer was cited for two general violations of T8CCR 3328(a) and T8CCR 4355(a)(2).
