Investigation Summary
At 1:40 p.m. on March 10, 2017, an employee was operating a metal form roll machine (model number: RF18; serial number: 9770). The employee noticed the machine was not operating correctly so he informed his supervisor and foreman. The supervisor instructed the foreman to adjust and re-gauge his machine. The guards were taken off to perform these adjustments. The employee was instructed to feed the roll stock metal into the machine and start the machine in run mode. The supervisor and foreman were both adjusting the machine when one of the employee's fingers contacted the moving parts of the unguarded running machine. The employee was wearing a glove, which became tangled with the machine rollers. His left hand was pulled into machine, resulting in the amputation of his left thumb, index finger and middle finger, as well a fracture ring finger and wrist. The employee was taken by ambulance to Corona Regional Medical Center and immediately transferred to LAC, USC Medical Center, where he was hospitalized and underwent surgery.
