Investigation Summary
At 4:45 p.m. on December 11, 2019, Employee #1 was operating a seed cracking machine, when it jammed. Employee #1 was using a loader to dump the cotton seed onto the seed cracking machine. The seed cracking machine became jammed. Employee #1 locked the seed cracking machine, but then he unlocked it to remove the jam. He took off the guard, and he did not wait until the rollers stopped spinning, which takes about three minutes. Employee #1 reached into the rollers before they stopped completely. Employee #1 suffered partial amputation of his four fingers on his right hand. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
