Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:30 a.m. on May 10, 1992, Employee #1, of Color Tex Dyeing and Finishing, Inc., was in the finishing department operating a pad machine. The pad machine squeezes water out of fabric as it runs through the machine's rollers. Employee #1 went behind the machine and had extended his left hand to touch the fabric when his fingers became caught between the running rollers and were partially amputated. Employee #1 was taken to Santa Marta Hospital and admitted for three days; he is now being treated as an outpatient. The back of the machine was unguarded. A citation was issued to the employer ordering the company to make the necessary corrections.
