Investigation Summary
At 6:00 p.m. on December 1, 2017, an employee was repositioning plastic material on a roller of a A3-Flexible packaging machine as it was coming down to the heat dyes to seal the packaged material. The employee's hand grazed the heated dye metal and the employee's hand was burned. The employee then jerked his hand down toward the cutting blades as they were closing. He amputated the tip of his right index finger.
