Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was operating a pneumatic press, called a spring press, for a Tiromat line in the pork curing area. He inadvertently tripped the foot pedal, causing his left index finger to be smashed in the press and its tip to be amputated. Neither the foot pedal nor the point of operation was guarded, and no other means of protection, such as palm buttons, was being used.
