Investigation Summary
On March 18, 2010, a mixing machine operator for a rubber manufacturing company was mixing ingredients in a Hancock Engineering F 80 mixer, Serial Number 83A1304. The employee went to a lower level and looked up into the section of the machine through which the finished mixed product fell. He noted that a piece of rubber was hanging loose in the area and reached up to remove it. As he did this, his right-middle finger was struck by the mixer blade, amputating it at the tip. The employee was hospitalized.
