Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:30 p.m. on February 13, 2019, an employee was prepping a shaft assembly in the teardown department. The employee secured the shaft assembly with the use of one nylon sling and one metallic sling. The shaft assembly was lifted into the first station and completed its cycle. The employee, then, hoisted the shaft assembly out of the first station and guided it to the second station with this use of his left hand. The shaft assembly had the smaller fixed portion lowered first, this caused the free moving portion of the assembly to slide down and pinch the employee's finger. The employee's index finger was amputated. The employee was hospitalized.
