Investigation Summary
At 11:45 a.m. on June 8, 2007, Employee #1, a packer at a manufacturing plant that produces plastic containers, was operating a pneumatically powered Sencorp Thermoformer stacker machine, Model Number 2500, Serial Number 2706908. The stacker machine punches precut plastic food containers for strawberries. After the plastic food containers go through the stacker machine, they are placed in a wooden holder and then carried over to a table. If any plastic containers are left inside the stacker then the openings are covered. As Employee #1 was attempting to remove one of the plastic containers from wooden holder, his left middle finger got caught between the wooden pusher and one of the openings in the wooden part of the stacker. The tip of his left index finger was amputated.
