Investigation Summary
At 1:50 p.m. on April 18, 2019, an employee was assigned to operate the "AG Stacker" machine to complete orders. The employee completed two orders on his list and began working on the third one for the day when a piece of corrugated cardboard got jammed. The employee attempted to unjam the cardboard without following the employer's Lock-Out/Tag-Out procedures.
