Investigation Summary
On September 19, 2005, Employee #1 was placing concrete blocks with dimension of 8-in. by 8-in. by 16-in. into a palletizing machine, also called a cuber. The concrete blocks traveled down a conveyor line to the cuber. After arriving to the cuber, they were placed into a palletizing machine, and aligned and straightened on the pallet inside the machine. While Employee #1 conducted the operation, some blocks fell from the pallet. He attempted to adjust the blocks that would have jammed the machine. His finger caught rotating parts within the energized palletizing machine, amputating it. He was transported to a hospital for medical attention and was hospitalized for the amputated finger.
