Investigation Summary
At 2:15 a.m. on June 25, 2020, an employee working as a machine operator for a paper products manufacturer was installing a trim knife on Machine 18, a composition notebook machine. While reaching into the machine, the employee believed he felt something crawling on his arm and quickly pulled his arm away. As he pulled his arm out of the machine, he struck it against the trim knife blade. The employee lacerated his right lower arm and was hospitalized to treat a lacerated artery and nerve damage.
