Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170736235

Event: 03/18/1995

Employee's fingers amputated by press

Employee #1, a welder who operates a press brake on occasion, was working on a 120 ton Cincinnati press brake that was a converted shear with a 10 ft bed and a full revolution type clutch. The only form of protection for the employee is a light curtain that prevents the activation of the press before the foot switch is depressed. Once the foot switch is depressed and the downward stroke is initiated, there is no stopping the cycle. Employee #1 was removing a finished product by hand to be handed to a coworker and remounted on another section of the same die when the press cycled and crushed his fingers. All four fingers were amputated.
