Investigation Summary
At 7:00 a.m. on October 14, 2019, an employee working as a pipelayer for a fire protection service was setting up a groover attachment unit on a pipe threading machine. The employee inadvertently stepped on the foot control which caused the machine to power on while his right hand was in the danger zone. The employee caught his index finger between the machine's carriage bar and the groover nipple attachment. A coworker transported the employee to the hospital. The employee amputated his finger to the first joint and was hospitalized.
