Investigation Summary
At 1:00 a.m. on March 10, 2017, Employee #1, employed by a steel fabricator, was working at a die press machine. She was attempting to reposition a misfed work piece. After stopping the press cycle using a foot pedal, she pushed the work piece back into the correct position. The pneumatic material hold clamp activated and extended to its normal position, pinching Employee #1's right index finger between the clamp and the die. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. She was treated for the partial amputation of her finger.
