Investigation Summary
At 3:30 a.m. on October 29, 2021, an employee was operating a pneumatic plastic cap cutter machine. As the employee placed a plastic cap in the cap cutter, he heard a hissing noise, and the cap cutting machine piston came down on his gloved finger unexpectedly. The piston pinched his right index finger, resulting in partial amputation of the fingertip below the first knuckle. The employee was hospitalized.
