Employee's Fingers Are Amputated in Chain and Sprocket

At approximately 11:00 p.m. on February 22, 2012, Employee #1, with Orange County Container (a corrugated container manufacturer), was repairing a line conveyor that was energized. He directed the machine operator to activate the machine. Employee #1's left hand was pulled into the chain and sprocket, amputating three of his fingers. He went directly his supervisor, who took him to US Health Works for treatment. Employee #1 stated he was leaning over and did not realize his left hand was near the chain drive. The employer failed to ensure that the employee de-energized the machine prior to the repair.
