Investigation Summary
Employee #1, of National Newsvend, was using a press brake with a special die to punch holes on a metal piece to create the coin mechanism for newspaper vending machines. She was using a foot-operated control. The die was set so that the point of operation being guarded by the die was below 1/4 in. Employee #1 was holding the metal piece with her left hand and placed her right hand above the die. She pressed the control and the ram came down approximately 6 to 7 in. and crushed her hand against the frame of the die. Employee #1 suffered a severely crushed hand that required two surgical operations to be repaired.
