Event: 12/12/1991

Employee's fingers caught in safe mechanism

Employee #1, of Payless Shoe Store in Topeka, KS, was closing the retail shoe store. One of her last duties in closing was to empty a timed access cash controlled safe and remove the money for night deposit. Employee #1 unlocked the safe and opened the door to retrieve coins that had been stored in plastic tubes. As Employee #1 activated the rotating retrieval arm to the safe mechanism, her fingers became caught between the arm and the outlet side of the safe's storage area. Employee #1 de-energized the safe by unplugging the 110 volt electrical supply. Fire department paramedics were called and Employee #1's fingers were freed once the safe had been dismantled, which took 1 1/2 hours.
