Investigation Summary
On August 23, 2006, Employee #1 was operating a nut boxing machine. During operation, the plastic wrap became jammed. As a result, Employee #1 reached his left hand into the machine to remove the jam and the tip of his left pinky finger became caught. The tip of the skin on Employee #1's finger was amputated; however, no bone was crushed. The accident investigation revealed that the accident could have been avoided if the machine had been shutdown before removal of the bound plastic was performed. Since the accident, an additional guard has been placed on the machine and a light screen that will cause the machine to shutdown if it is removed.
