Man injured after getting hand trapped at Telford factory
A man suffered a serious injury to his hand in the early hours of this morning after it became trapped in machinery whilst he was working at a factory in Telford.
The man was working at B S Polythene Ltd on Halesfield 11, Telford, when the incident happened at just before 2am.
It’s understood the man, who is in his 40s, became trapped after his hand accidentally got drawn between two rollers on a machine which makes plastic sheeting.
A Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service crew released the man from a roller machine by using small gear and hydraulic cutting equipment. He was released from the machinery within 15 minutes of the service arriving.
The man was taken to hospital by ambulance suffering from multiple fractures of his hand.
