Investigation Summary
At 7:38 a.m. on August 1, 2019, Employee #1 was starting the fiber picker in order to fill pillows with fibers. As Employee #1 was starting the fiber picker, the drum roller became jammed with fiber. Employee #1 turned the machine off and opened a cover on the drum roller to reach in to remove the fiber. The drum roller had not stopped rotating when Employee #1 put her hand in the machine. It takes approximately 3-5 minutes for the drum roller to stop after the machine is turned off. Employee #1 was hospitalized to treat an amputation of the right hand.
