Abstract: At approximately 2:30 p.m. on November 14, 2007, Employee #1 was working on a Cincinnati brake press in the maintenance shop. He was making a sample bracket which measured 12-in. by 5-in. by 0.5-in. He made a 90 degree bend and was pulling the piece out with his left hand. His right foot was on the foot pedal and accidently activated the press. The top die caught the bracket and rotated it up. His thumb was caught between the bracket and the face of the press, amputating it.
