Investigation Summary
At approximately 5:40 a.m. on November 5, 2009, Employee #1, a production helper of eight months, was working on a recycling machine (BM & M Reko, Automation and Machine Tools). He was watching the recycling machine, while standing near the controller when all of the machines stopped. He was told by his supervisor to unclog the material from the air lock cylinder. While he was in a squatting position, Employee #1 opened the plastic cylinder on the air lock system (Caroline Conveying) to release the material. He lost his balance and tried to hold on to something with his left hand. Four fingers of his left hand got caught in the moving parts in the air lock assembly, which caused their amputation. His index finger and ring finger were reattached, but the middle and pinkie finger remained amputated. He was hospitalized for treatment.
