Investigation Summary
At 10:40 a.m. on July 30, 1990, Employee #1, the supervisor for machine repair, was standing on an elevated platform to observe the start-up of bottling machine #2 and the dropping of hot glass blobs through the alignment funnels. His left hand was resting in the gap between the adjustment screw and the shaft supporting the funnels. This gap closed when the machine below went into production and the tip of his ring finger was amputated. The employer was cited for failure to guard this remote pinch point.
