Investigation Summary
On December 10, 2002, Employee #1 was operating an Autopad Cushioning System, Model MA-0033, Serial Number 20132004, manufactured by Ranpak Corporation. This machine took a 36-in.-wide paper from a roll, folded it, and cut it into 12-in. by 24-in.-long pieces of padding material. The processed material came out of a spout with a front opening, which measured 9.25 in. by 3 in. A plastic flip guard was built into the spout, which lifted up when the material was coming out. Due to some defective material, a paper jammed in the machine. Employee #1 reached into the machine through the output spout with his left hand, to un-jam the machine without turning the machine off. His hand came in contact with the paper-cutting blade. Employee #1 sustained amputation of his left index and middle fingers. He was hospitalized.
