Investigation Summary

At 2:00 a.m. on February 3, 2020, Employee #1, an English-speaking male, age 58, was working as an auditor. The auditor checks a production line after it is cleaned and sanitized. The auditor was checking the line and checked the recirculation pump. There is a 6-inch pipe that goes into and out of the recirculation pump. The employee put his finger into the pipe to do a physical check for cleanliness. The pipe was dirty, so the auditor cleaned it and went back to check it again. The moment that the employee's finger was in the pipe, a coworker upstream put a slurry through the line, which activated the pump, causing an amputation to the employee's left ring fingertip. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
