Investigation Summary
At 1:00 p.m. on May 13, 2020, an employee working as a machine operator for a fabricated wire manufacturer was performing service and maintenance on an automated stacker. The employee noticed that the stacker was not gripping the wire mesh sheets correctly. A coworker noticed that the light curtain across the opening of the unloading area had been tripped and reset the curtain and started the machine. The startup of the machine cased the exit end table to transverse back to the home position. The employee was caught between the machine frame and the transversing exit end table which pinned the employee's lower legs. The employee was transported to the hospital and was hospitalized to treat a fractured right tibia, bruising to his left leg, and nerve damage to his right foot.
