Abstract: At approximately 7:15 a.m. on August 29, 2005, Employee #1, working for C. Kohler & Clark Screw Productions, was operating a Leadwell C & C lathe. He had inserted a bar into the lathe that was two feet longer than the lathe was designed for. The bar became unstable and the lathe needed to be stopped and adjusted. He depressed the shut-off button and, while waiting for the lathe to stop, he grabbed the bar to slow it down. The bar bent to approximately a 90 degree angle and crushed his left hand against the lathe. He was hospitalized with a fracture.
