Investigation Summary
On or about 10:15 a.m. on December 31, 1997, Employee #1, an employee of Gerlinger Casting Corporation, was injured when his thumb was caught between a belt and pulley. A Wheelabrator Shot Blast Machine's tumble-blast mechanism was jammed. In an attempt to dislodge the jam, Employee #1 bypassed guards and grabbed the belt to release tension on the gear drive. As a result of the high rate of speed of the belt, Employee #1's thumb was pulled into the nip point resulting in an amputation.
