Abstract: At 12:00 p.m. on November 7, 2017, an employee was operating a hydraulic shear to manipulate a piece of stainless steel. During operation, the employee's hand entered the point of operation. As a result, one of employee's fingertips was amputated. The incident investigation identified that the employee's fingers had gone beyond the awareness barrier during operation, which allowed the finger to become caught under a hold down device.
