Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 143720.015
Event: 12/15/2021
Employee lacerates fingers while unjamming long splitting ma

At 4:00 a.m. on December 15, 2021, an employee and a coworker were operating a BSV-ET Long Splitting Machine, which sends a glued foam block into a looping motion, cutting a specified thickness off the top of the block with each revolution. The top that gets cut is sent to a cylinder and gets rolled for the customer. Scrap foam had ended up in the blade portion causing the machine to jam. The employee was waiting while the coworker went to the operator pad to stop the machine. After stopping the machine, while trying to clear the foam scrap from the blade, the employee touched the blade with his right hand. The employee severly lacerated his middle and ring fingers to the bone requiring hospitalization and his index finger and pinky finger pads were removed.
