Investigation Summary
At 10:39 a.m. on March 4, 2020, Employee #1 was assisting in the rolling mill changeover. Employee #1 was performing a task, whereby he was standing beside the mill carriage assembly as it was being moved horizontally from the outer housing to ensure that no cords or hoses became tangled or snagged. Employee #1 placed his right hand on the assembly, as it was moving, to gain leverage to reach into the equipment. While his hand was there, the moving assembly created a pinch point between it and the outer housing. Employee #1 suffered a partial amputation of the right middle finger and was hospitalized.
