Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 981175

Event: 07/28/1993

Employee's fingers are amputated by brake press

On or about July 28, 1993, Employee #1 was asked to help a coworker perform a job on a 225 ton Chicago mechanical brake press. The employee put a piece of material in the press, then pushed the foot pedal to cycle the machine. When the machine cycled, her fingers were caught in the point of operation. The employee immediately took her foot off the pedal to stop the press, leaving three of her fingers pinched in the point of operation. The employee panicked and stepped back on the foot pedal. The ram lowered even more and amputated the three fingers.
