Abstract: Employee #1 was working on a full-revolution punch press. He had been working on the job for over 60 days. During that entire time, there had been no guard on the press, which was operated by foot pedal. Employee #1 had to reach into the die to place and remove parts. The employee's foot slipped on a non-skid pedal pad, causing the press to activate on his right hand and amputate the tips of the 2nd and 3rd fingers.
