Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was tending a knitting loom. When material had been wound on a roll for the number of turns entered on its digital counter, the loom was supposed to turn off. This allowed the operator to crouch and enter the body of the loom, through an interlocked gate, to cut off the material with a pair of scissors. This time, the loom did not stop according to the counter. Also, the loom's interlock was not working. When Employee #1 reached in to cut the material, the arm of the loom came around and threw him against the cage, breaking several ribs. Employee #1 did not require hospitalization.
