Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was operating a machine that printed information on plastic bottles. He put a cardboard box under the part of the machine where bottles tended to fall off to make it easier to pick them up. Employee #1 was removing the filled box when it became stuck because one of the bottles had landed upright and become jammed in place. He was reaching under a covered area to remove the standing bottle when his left index finger contacted the chain and sprocket, amputating 1 1/2 in. of the tip.
