Investigation Summary
On January 27, 1997, Employee #1, a patcher with Remo, Inc., of Valencia, CA., was cleaning the rolls of a laminating machine. As she was cleaning, her body came in contact with the machine's control bar, causing the laminator to engage. Her right hand was pulled into the moving rollers, amputating the tips of her index, middle, and ring fingers. She was taken to Henry Mayo Hospital in Valencia for emergency treatment. The machine had not been locked out, blocked out, or de-energized.
