Investigation Summary
At 10:00 a.m. on February 10, 2012, Employee #1 was working for Coastwide Tag and Label Co., Inc. (CTLCI), at a work location in Pico Rivera, CA. CTLCI, which manufactured stringed tags and was in business since 1946, had been under its current ownership since 1987. Employee #1 was operating a printing press machine that was manufactured by "B. Verner and Co., Inc." (Model Number "FM" Multipress; Serial Number 1515). The operating instructions for the printing press had a copyright date of 1949. The printing press had many exposed metal linkages that moved during its operation. The machine operator fed labels and the machine printed and ejected the products. While feeding blank labels into the printing press, Employee #1 inadvertently placed her hand in an area that had moving parts. Three fingers on Employee #1's right hand were amputated, and Employee #1 was transported to St Francis Medical Center in Lynwood California, where she was treated and hospitalized. CTLCI notified the Division about the serious injury in a timely manner, and the Los Angeles County Fire Department also notified the Division. The cause of Employee #1's injury was determined to be an unguarded hazardous area.
