Incident
Employee was working around a moving belt in a food production facility when they attempted to remove some debris from/near said belt. They did so successfully but the belt caught their glove and pulled their hand into and under the belt. Several employees responded within seconds but in statements there was some confusion on where the e-stop was and what to do. The employees were able to stop, in quick order, the belt but maintenance was called to remove the employee’s hand – a period of 10 minutes for start of incident to removal.
Employee was taken to the hospital for fractured/broken bones in hand. Surgery was successful and employee sent home same day and is not recovering.
Error
This incident was a violation of LOTO when working around moving / energized equipment and employee had documented training recently. It is important to note the safety issues gloves can pose around moving equipment and extreme caution must be had and awareness made.
ACTIONS
1.
Review the case and audit all accounts to make sure LOTO is no more than 12 months
past last training. Schedule and perform review this week and next for those 12+ months.
2.Review hand safety and the unique issues that can happen (as in this case) when
wearing hand PPE – gloves/
3.Document EACH piece of powered equipment with LOTO at the site and learn where the
e-stops are for each. You may want to review with your client before this stand down to
make sure there are no unknown stops / information. Review this with all employees. For
larger plants you may want to perform daily trainings on different equipment ‘working
through the plant’ over a period of several days and reviews.
Documentation
Have all employees sign off on training with different sheets for the following:
1.LOTO – review or re-train
2.Hand safety around power equipment
3.E-stops – list all equipment reviewed. Different sign-off sheets if done on different days.
