Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:40 a.m. on December 6, 1997, Employee #1 was working in the quick response fabricating department (#403) in building #5. He was operating a punch press with two manual, waist-level switches and a foot pedal near the floor for hand-free activation. Employee #1 was machining 1 1/2 in. by 3 in. aluminum stock, manipulating the material with both hands in a continuous operation, when he inadvertently struck the foot pedal when his right hand was in the point of operation, amputating his middle finger. The point of operation was unguarded. In addition, Employee #1 was supposed to be using the manual switches, and not the foot pedal, to operate the machine.
