Investigation Summary
At 5:45 p.m. on April 24, 2019, an employee had just made repairs to a Seimens Dematic Meter Belt and had reenergized the equipment to make sure that the repairs were successful. As the employee turned on the machinery, a rag he was using to wipe away grease from the cog belt and pulleys got caught and pulled his right hand into the apparatus. The employee partially amputated his thumb, index and middle fingers, requiring medical treatment. The employee was not hospitalized.
