Investigation Summary
At 12:45 p.m. On September 10, 2010, Employee #1, with a company that manufactured concrete blocks, was clearing debris from a concrete mixer. When a coworker remotely closed the mixer's discharge door, Employee #1's hand was crushed. His middle and ring fingers were amputated. The incident was caused by failure to lock out the discharge door and failure of the coworker to check for personnel prior to activating the door.
