Investigation Summary
At 2:00 p.m. on April 4, 2020, an employee was working as a civilian for a branch of the armed forces of the United States. This branch guarded the coast of the United States. He was a machinist. He was operating a metal shear. He placed his left index finger in the point of operation. His left index finger was amputated all the way to the first knuckle. The narrative did not specify whether this was the distal or the proximal knuckle. Possibly the amputation was limited to the fingertip. The employee was treated without hospitalization. The employer did not report the amputation to OSHA until 10:30 a.m. on April 6, 2020. The report came in via a telephone call.
