Investigation Summary
At 7:00 a.m. on March 23, 2021, an employee was starting his shift. The employee bypassed the yellow grating on the Yoder Tube Mill and went to check the tube roundness after the eleventh die. If the tube was not significantly round, the employee would adjust the die to change the roundness of the tube. The employee wrapped his hand around the tube to feel it, while the machine was running. The employee's glove caught on a bur of the tube and dragged the employee's hand through the grating and into the twelfth die. The employee sustained an amputated ring finger on his left hand and was hospitalized.
