Abstract: At 2:30 a.m. on October 15, 2019, an employee was working for a firm that manufactured air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment and commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment. He was a machine operator. He was bending a part in a press brake. He was wearing gloves. The investigation summary said that he placed his hands on the part as instructed and then cycled the press brake. His left index finger, inside a glove, was caught in between the die and the metal piece. His fingertip was amputated. The narrative said that the employee cycled the press brake and then reached in to grab the part. At that point, his fingertip was amputated. He was treated without hospitalization.
