Investigation Summary
On May 15, 2012, Employee #1 had just started her shift when she saw that her cutter was not working and reported it to the Foreman. The Foreman left and returned with a cutter in worse condition and left again. The diameter of the bowl is 24 in. by 7.5 in. deep. Once the bowls are extruded and out of the machine a 1/2 in. diameter sprue located at the bottom of the bowl is left to be cut off by employees using a power cutter/nipper MR 20, manufactured by Nile. The cutter is a hand held pneumatic cutter with a blade 1 1/8 in. long. While the employee was sharpening the tool, her bowls were beginning to accumulate. Employee #1 did not want to get behind and decided to use the original cutter. The employee had cut 23 sprues from bowls placing pressure on the tool. While Employee #1 was cutting the 24th sprue she placed a lot of pressure on the cutter. The cutter slipped off the sprue and the employee amputated her left pinky finger. Employee #1 was taken to an area hospital, where she was treated for the amputation of her finger and released after 24 hours.
