Abstract: On November 9, 2000, Employee #1 was cutting the netted wire material using an AMCO shear machine. He fed the netted metal material at the back of the shear machine. When Employee #1 went to the front of the shear machine and started pulling the material, he slipped on the slippery floor, causing his body to swing forward. At the same time he stepped on the foot control device for the shear machine. The shear blade then started to move. He immediately pulled his right hand out but it was too late. Three of his right hand fingertips were amputated. The employer was a small company that manufactured vehicle filters.
