Narrative

On September 30, 2021, an employee was operating a hole punch machine that is activated by a pneumatic foot pedal. The employee was punching holes completely through heater pans when a piece of plastic from one of the heater pans got stuck inside the hole. The employee attempted to remove the piece of plastic when the foot pedal was pressed and the machine blade struck his right index fingertip, resulting in an amputation without bone loss.
