Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170164552

Event: 09/18/1990

Employee's fingertip amputated in punch press

Employee #1 was operating a single stroke punch press with a two-hand control and an air injection system operated by a foot control. The two-hand control buttons were mounted flush against the face of the press below waist level and were not protected by a rim guard or cover, as required to prevent accidental operation. Employee #1 was removing a stamped piece by operating the air control pedal with her right foot when her right knee inadvertently struck the right-hand press control, triggered a downward stroke that amputated the tip of her right index finger. Employee #1 had left her other hand on the left control, which allowed the two-button activation. After the accident, the employer installed the required run-guard press control buttons.
