Lathe Operator Is Injured When Caught in Machine, Later Dies

At 10:45 a.m. on February 24, 2012, Employee #1, a 45-year-old lathe operator, was moving product from an external inspection area to lathe operation area. As he approached the rear of the lathe, he reached across the protruding stack which was being run when it caught his jacket, pulling him into the rotation cycle. He was critically injured and hospitalized with two broken arms (one of which was later amputated) and a broken neck. He died of his injuries 10 days after the accident.
