Investigation Summary
Employee #1 had completed forging a 12 by 6, schedule 160, concentric weld reducer pipe fitting. He measured the fitting, found the inside diameter of the neck was too small, and decided to enlarge the opening using a hydraulic press. He inserted a punch into the fitting's neck, then activated the press to push the punch into the fitting. The press kicked out the fitting and the punch. The fitting struck Employee #1 on the arm, pinning him against the column of an equipment handling device. He sustained injuries to his arm that required hospitalization.
