Investigation Summary
At 4:15 a.m. on August 21, 2021, an employee working as a machine operator for a steel wire manufacturer was performing service and maintenance on equipment. The employee was attempting to realign steel wire onto the take up coil block. The employee lifted the interlocked gate to gain access to the block area. The employee placed the equipment in jog mode allowing the interlocked mechanism to be disabled. The employee cycled the equipment via the foot pedal while his hand was placed on the wire. The wire subsequently pulled the employee into the pinch point created by the wire and the take up coil block. The employee received medical treatment without hospitalization for an amputated fingertip.
