Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was working at the wood feeder table of a double backing machine. His job was to make sure that the wood inserts fed properly into the gluing section. A strip of wood jumped out of its position and became stuck out of place. Instead of stopping the machine, Employee #1 reached around the guard to try to pull it out. His left hand was pulled into the machine, amputating two of his fingers. Employee #1 admitted that he did not follow the safety procedures in stopping the machine before trying to free the piece of wood.
