Investigation Summary
On January 15, 2013, Employee #1, with Henkel Corporation, had been producing an adhesive used in the aerospace industry. Employee #1 was scraping the product back down into the mix can using a Teflon paddle, because the material tended to climb up the rotating shaft during production. As he was doing this, Employee #1's glove was caught on the protruding bolt that secured the unguarded rotating shaft, which was operating at high speed on a mixer chuck (Myer; Brand Jiffy). First, Employee #1's hand, then his arm, were pulled towards the rotating shaft, fracturing both. Employee #1 was hospitalized for eight days.
