Investigation Summary
On May 15, 2009, Employee #1, an experienced machine operator with Gwp Enterprises Inc. Dba Granada Wood Products, was molding wood, using a wood shaping machine. The machine had two feed rollers which rotated and pushed the material through a rotating router blade inside the machine. A piece of wood from the wood stock broke off and prevented the feeder wheels from turning. Employee #1 opened the guard door which had a malfunctioning interlock. Employee #1 was able to operate the controls to reverse the direction of the feed rolls to release the broken piece of wood. When the piece was loose, Employee #1 removed the wood piece but accidentally came into contact with the still rotating router blades which were enclosed in a metal sheath. Employee #1 was treated at a hospital for an amputated finger tip.
