Factory workers fingers amputated in grinding machine

KwaZulu-Natal: At 09H18 Friday morning Netcare 911 responded to reports of an industrial incident at a factory in Mkondeni Pietermaritzburg.

Reports from the scene indicate that an adult male factory worker got his left hand stuck in a grinding machine.

When emergency services arrived on the scene the machine was immediately locked out to allow emergency personnel to safely treat the patient.

Upon assessment, it was found that the worker had four of his fingers amputated and was in severe pain.

The patient was treated on scene by a Netcare 911 Emergency Care Practitioner and given intravenous medication to ease the pain while the fire and rescue services dismantled the machine.

Once freed and stabilized the patient was transported by ambulance to the hospital for further treatment.
