Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a millwright, was repairing an egg carton press. To keep production on line, he shut off press #508, the middle in a bank of three presses. When shut down, the press parts are stationary. Employee #1 then actuated the press to move it into the 'up' position, and left it on while putting his hand in the press to make a repair. While turning off press #509, a coworker accidentally hit the button for #508 and turned it off. This action caused the press to come down on Employee #1's hand. He sustained injuries that required hospitalization. The employee worked for a company that manufactured paper products from recycled paper, such as egg cartons and paper plates.
