Investigation Summary
At 11:45 p.m. on January 22, 2017, an employee was troubleshooting a machine stoppage while servicing termination machine 4-2 due to an accumulation of fibers that would block the terminal sensor or block terminal strips in the cutting area. The employee inserted his fingers inside the cutting area, the sensor was tripped, the machine cycled bringing the nest up and the cutting motion took place while the index finger was between the bottom nest and the terminal block. As a result, the employee suffered a right hand index finger partial amputation. The employee was taken to Elmhurst Memorial Hospital Emergency Room where he was treated and hospitalized.
