Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was operating a log press machine that makes fireplace logs from cardboard chips. He looked at the rear of the machine and noticed that the chips were jammed in the hopper. When he reached into the hopper to clear the jammed chips, the compactor ram came forward and caught the last three fingers of his right hand. Employee #1 could not shut down the machine and had to yank his hand free, tearing off three fingertips. He then ran past the front of the machine, shut it off, and went to the office for help. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
