EMPLOYEE CUT THUMB ON SLITTING MACHINE

EMPLOYEE #1 WAS USING A SLITTING MACHINE TO CUT VINYL. HE NOTIFIED HIS SUPERVISOR THAT THE MACHINE WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

THE EMPLOYEE WAS TRAINED IN PROPER MACHINE OPERATION. HOWEVER, HE MISJUDGED A HAZARDOUS SITUATION AND DISREGARDED HIS SUPERVISOR'S ORDERS. HE SUSTAINED A CUT ON HIS THUMB WHICH REQUIRED 3 - 5 STITCHES.
