Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170066328
Event: 05/03/1993
Employee's finger severed between push block & air cylinder

Employee #1's assigned task was to test gasoline dispensing pump meters by submerging them into a tank of water. Meters are located on the left side of the tank and the employee places a meter onto the meter submersion hold down area. A pneumatic cylinder push-block seats the meter into rubberized air-pressurized inlets to perform the underwater leak test. When one retracts the push-block, a handle mounted on the right side is activated. Employee #1 had his left index finger between the push-block and the air cylinder during retraction and the tip was severed to the first joint. No guards were in place and the task is a repetitive motion operation. The equipment was designed by company engineers and was being operated at approximately 90 psi at the time of the accident.
