Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:45 p.m. on May 16, 2001, Employee #1, a shop laborer was sweeping and cleaning machine Number 1 in the small powder department and was following the company's lock-out tag-out procedures. A co worker asked him for an addition of 20 pounds of material after the lock had already been placed. Employee #1 removed the lock, opened and held the gate up against a micro switch. He activated the machine by pressing the start button with one hand but the vibration caused the gate to slip off the micro switch. He tried to hold the gate back up and he accidentally made contact with the blade inside the gate. Employee #1 suffered open fractures, joint and tendon injuries to his fourth and fifth fingers and was hospitalized.
