Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:00 p.m. on December 3, 1991, Employee #1, supervisor of the flat department, was attempting to clear a jam in the Omega folder with his hand. When he reached into a 3 in. opening between the machine housing and a barrier guard, his right hand was caught between the folder's belt and pulley drive. Employee #1 suffered a broken index finger and severe contusions to the rest of his fingers. Employee #1 failed to follow the company's established lockout procedures, and the guard, which provided clear access to moving parts, was inadequately constructed.
