At 2:18 a.m. on November 29, 1995, Employee #1, a press brake operator working the third shift, was hand feeding material into an obsolete press brake equipped with PSDI.

The clutch had performed correctly for a number of days prior to the incident and daily inspections were made. No other workers admitted to seeing the accident. The employer was cited with two instances of improper guarding, 8CCR 4214(a)(1).
