Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:45 p.m. on or about April 14, 1993, Employee #1 was removing a shim (1 in. metal piece) from the frame of a scissor lift. He was using a 7 in. pry bar to dislodge the weld tacks. The lift platform suddenly descended, striking the pry bar and crushing Employee #1's left middle finger between the pry bar and the lift's metal guardrail. The lift platform was supported by a 4 by 4 wooden block; however, the block obviously had not prevented inadvertent movement of the platform. Employee #1 was subsequently transferred to Davies Hospital in San Francisco where he underwent microscopic surgery. He sustained a nearly amputated middle finger on the left hand.
