Investigation Summary
At 8:10 a.m. on November 13, 2017, Employee #1 was changing dust collector filter bags in a bag house on the production side of the plant. He was attempting to dislodge a filter bag that was stuck to the frame by slamming the frame repeatedly down on the bag house floor through the filter hole, in the hopes of freeing the bag. As Employee #1 placed his hand inside the frame and wrapped his right middle finger around the metal cap of the frame, he slammed the frame down to the floor. His right middle finger was pinched between the metal top cap and a floor hole, amputating the fingertip at the nail. He was transported to a local hospital, where he remained and was treated for his injuries.
