Incident on Aug 21, 2019: Employee amputates fingertip on spindle lock
At 5:20 p.m. on August 21, 2019, an employee was passing by a coworker who was struggling to center a four-foot long spindle that was inserted in the middle of a coil of aluminum as it was sitting on the floor. The employee offered to assist the coworker and while the coworker pulled on the spindle on one side of the coil the employee pushed on the spindle with both hands from the opposite side. The employee's hands were touching the hub and collar of the spindle locking mechanism which had a small gap between the parts when the coworker pulled on the spindle from his end. The employee's gloved finger tip was caught between the hub and collar as they were pulled closed by the coworker and the tip of his right ring finger was amputated. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
