Investigation Summary
At 10:30 p.m. on February 8, 2017, Employee #1 bypassed the slitter jog button on a Stamco Slitter by jamming a metal clip in the button, in order to spray the slitter heads with solvent cleaner. The employee then began to wipe the two rotating slitter heads with a rag. The employee's right gloved hand became caught between the two slitter heads, pulling his hand into the slitter. Then the in-going nip point between the two slitter heads crushed Employee #1's hand and forearm, resulting in fractures and amputations of three fingers, and a partial amputation of the other two. The employee was hospitalized for his injuries.
