Employee partially amputates finger in energized extruder

At 10:30 p.m. on October 15, 2019, an employee who worked for a plastics products manufacturer was clearing excess plastic from an extruder. A coworker (Production Supervisor) removed the magnet that is located below the material hopper on the extruder to remove the built up material. The employee stuck his arm into that space while the extruder was running and caught his right index finger in the point of operation. The employee partially amputated his finger and required medical treatment without hospitalization.
