Final narrative
On May 6, 2020, at approximately 7:45 p.m., an employee stopped a lathe and pulled a nylon strap through the center of a 13-inch long, 8-inch diameter part. The nylon strap was attached to a jib crane, and the employee needed to jog the lathe to lock the chuck. The lathe did not jog and instead began running at operational speed. The employee's gloved right hand was caught between the nylon strap and rotating metal part, resulting in a broken thumb, severed nerves and tendons, and severe tissue damage to the hand.
