Investigation Summary
On July 16, 2010, Employee #1 was at a batting cage trying to reengage the ball elevator chain back onto the sprocket. He tried to manually put the chain back onto the sprocket with a rod. This did not work, so he used his left hand to push the chain onto the sprocket. Employee #1 was not trained in lockout or tagout or on how to properly reengage the chain. The elevator and sprocket was still running as it was easier to walk the chain back onto the sprocket while the elevator was running. When Employee #1 reached in with his left hand, it was caught in the rotating parts, which amputated his middle finger. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
