Investigation Summary
At 11:30 a.m. on September 23, 2021, an employee working as a machine operator for a mechanical power transmission equipment manufacturer was operating a projection welding machine. The employee was in the process of manufacturing power distribution pulleys. The machine is equipped with two hand control and a light curtain. The machine had just welded a pulley when the employee reached in to pull out the finished part. The employee had reached through the guards to get to the part. The employee's right hand was still in the machine when the die closed. The employer determined through troubleshooting that the safety devices were not functioning properly. The employee received medical treatment without hospitalization for a partially amputated thumb to the first knuckle.
