Investigation Summary
On February 23, 2004, Employee #1 was operating an AIRAM Die Cast Trimmer. The task was to place a part in the die tray and press down on the dual palm actuators to activate the press. The press would trim off excess metal. On the day of accident, Employee #1 continually leaned on the left side palm actuator and only hit the right button. As Employee #1 placed a part in the press tray, the press activated. It pressed down on top of Employee #1's right hand, amputating her first, second, and third finger. Employee #1 was hospitalized. The right ride of the dual palm actuator malfunctioned.
