Investigation Summary
At approximately 4:30 p.m. on March 27, 2010, Employee #1 was changing and adjusting a plastic film roll on the popsicles packing machine. The machine works on 220-volts AC supply and was deenergized prior to the film adjusting task. When Employee #1 was changing and adjusting the plastic film roll on machine, a coworker activated the power control without ensuring Employee #1's hands were away from the point of operation danger zone. Employee #1 suffered a partial amputation to his left thumb when his thumb got caught and hit by the sealer. Employee #1 was hospitalized for about three hours in a local hospital for treatment. Employee #1 was employed by a temp agency, Personnel Plus Inc., and had been working at the Harrison Beverage Inc. as a general helper for about one year.
