Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170378749
Event: 10/09/1996
Employee's hand injured in potting soil machine

Employee #1 was using a potting soil machine to fill pots when he noticed that one container had not been filled because another pot was lying on its side on top of it. He tried to grab the top pot with his left hand, but lost his grip. As he tried to catch the falling pot, the lever that pushed filled pots onto the conveyor impaled his hand between his thumb and index finger, coming out the other side of his palm. The emergency STOP switch was not near his station, and it was only with great effort that he was able to get to it and de-energize the machine. Employee #1 suffered some nerve damage and lost sensation in his little finger.
