Investigation Summary

Employee #1 and a coworker, the gin foreman, were waiting to clear a plugged lint cleaner on a cotton gin. The foreman removed the bolts and then knelt at the corner of the cleaner to check if the machinery had stopped moving. Employee #1 came up behind him and reached in with both hands to gather up a plug of cotton. The little finger of his glove became snagged in the cotton machine, and his hand was injured.
