Narrative

On October 13, 2021, an employee was operating a wire draw machine. During the drawing operation, the employee was adding lubrication powder to the die area of the machine when the glove on their right hand was caught and pulled into the rotating spindle. The pinch point where the wire wrapped around the spindle caused a partial amputation of the employee's third digit and a severe laceration to the fourth.
