Investigation Summary
At 9:00 a.m. on April 11, 2017, an employee was using a 12 inch magnet with a hook lifting device, to transfer steel sheets into a surface grinder. As the employee lifted two steel sheets measuring 18 inched by 18 inches and was blowing them off with compressed air before placement onto the surface grinder table, one came loose and fell. The falling steel sheet landed on the air wand that the employee was using to blow compressed air. His right index finger was crushed, resulting in its partial amputation.
