Investigation Summary
At 12:30 a.m. on September 23, 2020, an employee was working for a firm that made PVC (polyvinyl chloride) conduit for the electrical, telecommunications and utility markets. He operated extruding and forming machines. According to the UPA, he was operating a PVC pipe extrusion machine when it jammed. The employee bypassed an interlock and entered a guarded area. As the employee was adjusting the pipe, his hand became caught between a piece of the machine and a section of PVC pipe. The employee suffered a serious hand injury in the form of a cut or laceration. He was hospitalized. Later that day, at 10:30 a.m., the employer learned of the employee's admission to the hospital.
