Investigation Summary
Employee #1, of Hexcel Corporation, was mixing epoxy chemicals in a vat. The epoxy started to creep up the walls of the vat and he took a spatula and started to push it back into the vat without shutting off the mixer. His sleeve became entangled in the rotating shaft, which pulled his arm around it. He suffered a broken arm and collarbone before the machine was shut off.
