Event: 03/06/2008
Employee's Finger Is Amputated in Chain and Sprocket Drive

At approximately 3:40 p.m. on March 6, 2008, Employee #1, a machine operator, was trying to remove a jam in the machine. He was standing next to the exit conveyor and although there was an emergency stop button next to him, he put his latex gloved hand through the product exit opening and was caught by the chain and sprocket drive. The machine was surrounded by a Plexiglas enclosure equipped with interlock doors and emergency stop buttons at various operator points around the exterior. Employee #1 stated that he reacted with instinct and did not use any of the energy control systems that were in place. He sustained an amputation to his finger but was not hospitalized.
