Abstract: At 3:30 p.m. on January 18, 2017, Employee #1 was using the Cleereman Machine Tool chamfer press to chamfer clevis parts. He reached around the press to tighten the loose part holder when his hair, which was in a ponytail, became caught in the spindle of the drill press, resulting in a scalping of the top and right side of his head, partial right ear and right cheek. There were no immediate witnesses to the accident and the press did not have a guard to protect against the rotating parts.
