Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:00 p.m. on June 7, 2002, an employee of Aerocraft Heat Treating Co. Inc. was working as a straightener using a 30-ton hydraulic press. At approximately 7:00 p.m., he placed a small piece of block on top of the bar that he was going to straighten. He intended to place the block, withdraw his left hand and activate the control. He did not realize that during this time the hydraulic press was moving down. By the time he realized it, his middle finger was caught and was not able to withdraw his hand in time. His right hand was not on the controls. As a result of his accident, his left middle finger up to the second knuckle was amputated. The machine involved in the accident was a 30-ton hydraulic press, completely unguarded.
