Investigation Summary
On July 15, 1991, Employee #1, a product handler for J. R. Wood, was working at the de-leafer workstation. He inadvertently reached in to remove leaves while the machine was moving, and his right hand became caught in a chain/sprocket nip point. The distal joints of his fingers were traumatically amputated. Employee #1 had two years of experience and had received verbal training on cleaning this machine at the start of the processing season. After the accident, the employer added guarding to close off the nip point openings on both sides of the machine, and reiterated the company's lockout/blockout procedure.
