Investigation Summary
At 10:00 a.m. on September 2, 2021, an employee working as a machine operator for a metals manufacturer was working at the Expanded Metal Process Line. The employee was feeding expanded 4-foot by 8-foot metal sheets through a leveler. The employee was wearing black coated cloth gloves when his left-hand glove caught in the 1/2-inch expanded metal opening just as the leveler rollers caught a metal sheet. The employee was hospitalized to treat denuded index and middle fingers and a dibridged ring finger, requiring bedside amputations of the index finger to the proximal joint and the middle finger to the middle joint.
