Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:00 p.m. on January 14, 1997, Employee #1 was making a change-over on a corrugating machine. The machine had been set to manufacture 10 ft long sections of corrugated plastic pipe, and he needed it set for 100 ft long sections. As Employee #1 was finalizing the change-over, his left forearm became caught in the corrugator's molding cups. He was pulled in so that his chest and neck were compressed against the corrugator's in-feed section. Employee #1 was already dead when he was found by a coworker.
