Investigation Summary
At 12:30 p.m. on January 26, 2017, an employee was operating a roll former machine during troubleshooting to determine where a flaw in the steel beam was coming from. While he was observing the rollers, he got too close and his right hand was pulled into the rollers. He sustained crushing injuries to his hand, resulting in bruising, internal bleeding, and swelling. The employee was hospitalized and received treatment for his injury. The incident investigation reported that the roll former line was guarded by perimeter fencing equipped with interlocked gates, but the interlocks were not functioning, which allowed the employee to enter into the machine area while the machine was still operating.
