Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170695787

Event: 02/16/1993

Employee's fingers crushed in rollers

At about 2:30 p.m. on February 16, 1993, Employee #1, of Paris Sales Co., had been assigned to operate the Peck, Stow & Wilcox Co. metal roller machine, model #3416-G, serial #750194. Having never operated this machine before, the employee was given about a 5 to 10 minute instruction on its operation. No safety instruction, including the use of two levers on the side of the machine to separate the rollers for cleaning, was given. Employee #1 was told to clean the rollers when needed, but not told how to clean them safely. As she was cleaning the rolls with a piece of cloth, she hit the foot pedal with her foot and caught her right fingers between the rollers. She was able to back the rollers up to free her crushed fingers. Employee #1 spent nine days in the hospital and may suffer the amputation of some fingers.
