Investigation Summary
At 3:40 a.m. on February 8, 2022, an employee was running sand paper through the I Slitter Winder. The I Slitter is used to flex the sand paper by bending it around a series of rollers and finally wrapping around a cardboard tube on the winder bar. The employee had loaded an empty cardboard tube on the winder bar and had run about 40 feet of a 50-foot roll, when he was caught by the winder bar. The employee received fatal injuries as he was wrapped around the bar multiple times. The employee had an arm nearly amputated and broken bones in the face and chest.
