CHICOPEE – An employee of Parisi Incorporated, a custom architectural manufacturing business at 1380 Sheridan St., was seriously injured after getting his arm caught in machinery at the Sheridan Street facility Wednesday, according to Chicopee Deputy Fire Chief James McInerney.
Colleagues of the man managed to free his arm from an operating press prior to the arrival of emergency at about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday.
McInerny told 22News that the 36-year-old victim sustained serious "crushing injuries" to his hand and arm. The worker, who was not publicly identified, was taken to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield for treatment. An update on his condition was not immediately available.
It was unclear if officials from the federal Occupational Safety Health Administration might investigate the incident. An OSHA official reached this morning at the Springfield office was unaware of the incident and said he could not comment.
Parisi is headquartered in Newtown, Pa., just northeast of Philadelphia. Company president Joe Parisi did not immediately return a phone call. Parisi designs, creates and installs custom woodwork and millwork for office, retail and restaurant settings, according to its website.
