Investigation Summary
At 11:45 p.m. on January 6, 2017, Employee #1 was working alone, performing product finishing duties at a plastic manufacturing plant. Employee #1 attempted to reach over a gravity based conveyor into a cooling tunnel to grab a plastic pallet, rather than wait for the pallet to come onto the gravity based conveyor. Employee #1, realizing that they could not reach the plastic pallet, began backing their hand out. Employee #1's hand made a downward motion, resulting in their glove being caught in the motorized conveyor belt of the cooling tunnel. Employee #1's right hand was pulled into the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt pushed Employee#1's hand up against a nip point between the side wall of the machine and the conveyor belt. The tip of Employee #1's right middle finger was crushed. Employee #1 was taken to the emergency room by a coworker, where a doctor determined the injury to be an amputation.
