Investigation Summary
At approximately 6:00 a.m. on August 13, 2019, an employee was clearing a jam from a grinder. The employee was attempting to remove plastic from the rotor blade of the company's granulating machinery. As he pull the multi-blade rotor up, it shifted/rotated pinching his finger between the rotor blades and the housing of the cutting chamber. The employer did not identify or account for "gravity" as a hazardous energy source. The housing for the cutting chamber rotated and pinched the employee's finger between the rotor blade(s) and housing. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
