Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:45 a.m. on February 21, 2012, Employee #1 was operating a fabric textile roller and making a product that consisted of two parts. Employee #1 was moving fabric down the industrial rollers and where the rollers converged, it created an in-running nip point. Employee #1 was trying to fix a blemish in the material, when he was dragged into the machine roller. The trip wire was not located in such a position that would allow the operator to trip the wire if there was an emergency. Employee #1 sustained two broken arms and was hospitalized for his injuries.
