Investigation Summary
At 8:30 a.m. on August 25, 2021, an employee working as an assembler for an industrial design service was attempting to adjust the cam on a shear that was not aligned correctly. The employee did not adequately lock out the equipment and was using a 1-inch steel bar to make the adjustment. After making a few turns of the cam shaft, the shear ram engaged grabbing the bar and striking the employee in the leg. The employee was hospitalized to treat a fractured femur and lacerated arm.
