Abstract: On October 24, 1992, Employee #1 was performing his usual duties and was operating a cap weld machine. He was required to place small parts into the point of operation area. The machine was equipped with a two-hand trip. The machine cycled, but there was a delay in the descension of the weld head. As Employee #1 reached to straighten the part, the head descended and caught the tip of his index finger, amputating it. Employee #1 was transported to Foothill Presbyterian Hospital, where he was treated and released.
