Abstract: At 10:40 a.m. on September 26, 2019, an employee (Warehouse Manager) who worked for a tire wholesaler was demonstrating a tire mounting machine to three coworkers. One of the coworkers repositioned the tire on the tire mounter improperly. The employee was pointing out the mistake when he placed his left index finger where the clamps grab the rim. The danger area was not guarded and the employee partially amputated his finger in a pinch point, requiring medical treatment without hospitalization.
