Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:30 p.m. on February 20, 2013, Employee #1, a 25-year-old male machine operator with FDS Manufacturing Company, a manufacturer of industrial and agricultural packaging using extrusion, thermoforming, injection molding and paper converting operations, was working on the Terdeca single facer corrugator Number 8 in the paper department. Employee #1 had been working on the machine with two other maintenance coworkers that morning. The model and serial numbers of the Terdeca single facer corrugator number 8 were MRF-E and 7.110.51781 respectively. After speaking with a coworker about the status of repair work on the corrugator number 8, a coworker instructed the workers to get it ready for a run. A coworker and Employee #1 left the area for about ten minutes. Workers were trying to feed the paper through the corrugator number 8 when Employee #1 came back to the area. A coworker had left the area to take a break. Employee #1 went to the operator platform to feed the paper through the corrugator. As Employee #1 was feeding the paper, his right hand got caught between the pressure roll and corrugating roll. The space between the pressure roll and corrugating roll was between .5 to 1.0 in. at the time of incident when the normal spacing was 2 in. in open position. Employee #1 pulled out his hand and noticed that his fingers were crushed. Employee #1 sustained partial amputation of right index, middle and ring fingers and was hospitalized as a result of the event. Employee #1 was wearing safety glasses and a pair of Best Nitri-Flex Lite gloves at the time of the incident. It was determined that the corrugating and pressure rolls were not equipped with threading guides designed and installed to prevent contact with the operating feed nip. Employee #1 was a machine operator employed by FDS Manufacturing Company since January 2008
