Investigation Summary
At 4:00 p.m. on August 26, 2020, an employee was bending parts on press brake #5. The employee reported feeling dizzy, and he lost his balance. He reached out to catch himself and placed his hand in between the press brake tooling. Also, while catching his balance, the employee pressed the foot pedal. This activated the press brake machine, causing it to close, smashing his hand in between the tooling. The employee crushed his middle and index fingers on the right hand and was hospitalized.
