Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was reassembling a 2 in. long stainless steel three-way valve. To complete the task, air pressure had to be applied to collapse the piston before attaching the other half of the body to the valve assembly. Employee #1 put his right index finger in the piston cylinder to hold the valve body and was applying air pressure when the piston retracted, amputating the tip.
