Final narrative
On January 16, 2021, an employee and a coworker were troubleshooting feed issues with the planer mill strapper. While the injured employee was placing the pin in the bump gate to check the banding track for alignment issues, the co-worker started locking out the strapper and lowered the bump gate. Stored energy pinched and amputated the injured employee's right middle finger between the gate and the pin.
