Investigation Summary
At 4:00 p.m. on November 9, 2020, Employee #1 was monitoring the Miller MultiSealer while it was heat sealing pockets. While the machine was in motion and in the process of making a cut, a pocket became dislodged. Employee #1 reached under the heat seal carriage while it was in motion to straighten the pocket that had become dislodged and placed his finger in the way of a cutting blade that was currently in operation cutting one bulletin from a roll of printed jobs. The blade ran across Employee 1's right ring fingertip and amputated the tip of his finger. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
