Investigation Summary
At 3:50 p.m. on August 10, 1995, Employee #1 was working in the production department of Pacific Western Extruded Plastics Company, a manufacturer of plastic pipe for use in electrical conduit. He was assisting a senior coworker with the installation of a large air line on a beller machine. The coworker was heading to the maintenance department to obtain the correct fitting for the job when Employee #1 asked him if the machine had been turned off, and the coworker told him it had. Employee #1 began removing the air hose from the machine when the machine cycled. His left ring finger became between a sliding portion of the table and the frame of the machine. His finger tip was amputated.
