Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a press brake operator in the VPIA metal factory at Avenal State Prison, Avenal, CA, was bending light gauge metal to form support braces. He was using a Cincinnati hydraulic press brake. When he placed his hand between the ram and the die, the ram descended, amputating one of his fingers. Employee #1's supervisor conducted an investigation immediately after the incident and found that the top-speed lever had been moved up, de-energizing the light curtain.
