Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:05 a.m. on September 10, 2012, Employee #1, a press operator, was operating a C700 press, when a piece of paper wrapped around the roller. Employee #1 reached into an unguarded opening of the machine with his hand and was pulled into the machine. Employee #1 should have shut-off power to the press before clearing the jam. Specific procedures for clearing or unjamming equipment were not included in the employer's lockout/tagout program. Employee #1 was hospitalized. The injury resulted in an amputation of a finger.
