Abstract: At approximately 11:30 a.m. on January 30, 2009, Employee #1, a machine operator, was operating a Bobst cardboard perforating machine (SPO 160 Vision, Auto platen, Number 065101101/2002). The feed stock level was low. Employee #1 placed his right hand on the feeder tray to provide some weight on top of the 17-in. by 20-in. cardboard stock material for it to be sucked and fed in to the machine. As the tray came backward during its next feed operation, Employee #1's finger got caught between the tray carriage and the side plate, amputating his right pinky finger up to the first digit. Employee #1 was taken to the hospital for treatment and was released after approximately 5 hours.
