Investigation Summary
At 4:25 on October 12, 2020, an employee working for an automobile parts manufacturer was operating a flange machine. The employee was attempting to learn the procedures in order to operate the machine. The employee started the machine by pressing the two-hand trip sensor. Once the machine started, the employee tried to insert a metal rod into place when he hit a pressure sensor that actuated the flange clamp. The clamp came down on the employee's left hand. The employee amputated his index and middle fingers and was hospitalized.
