Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:30 am, On November 15, 2010 Employee #1 and #2 were cleaning a roller on the Embosser Machine. The employees noticed a piece of debris on the top roller that was creating a mark on the product. Employee #1 stopped the machine and opened it to get at the rollers while Employee #2 watched. However, no lockout/tag out devices was placed on the machine after the employee shut the machine off. Both employees entered the machine by the rollers. The employees pulled material through the rollers. Employee #2 placed paper between the top roller and the product so no cleaning supplies would get on the product. The employees taped the material up so all extra material was in the front of the rollers while they preformed the cleaning operations. The tape broke and the extra material fell through the rollers. This caused all the extra material to be behind the rollers. Employee #1 turned the machine back on and the employees then start to push the material through the rollers. Employee #1 got his fingers caught in the rollers pinch point. Employee #1 suffered three full finger amputations and one partial. Employee #1 lost his index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and part of his thumb. The company does have a lockout tag out program with machine specific procedures. However, the procedures were not utilized nor were locks or tags.
