Investigation Summary
At 8:30 a.m. on August 30, 1984, Employee #1 was operating a Perkins mechanical power press, serial #45893, property #101, and relieving the press operator. He reached through a 1 1/2 in. opening in the point of operation guard in order to remove a piece of material that had become jammed in the die. As he reached into the die, he inadvertently tripped the foot pedal to the press, causing the press to activate. He partially amputated his left middle finger and severely cut his left index and ring fingers. Employee #1 was hospitalized for 2 days and is expected to return to work in 3 to 4 weeks. The accident was a result of failing to fully guard the point of operation.
