Investigation Summary
On March 6, 2002, Employee #1 was cutting a sheet of 0.12-gauge stainless steel (approximately 3-ft by 3-ft) into smaller pieces (approximately 6-in. by 16-in.) using an HTC hydraulic plate shear (Model Number 375-10A). When he had a small piece of the original material left to cut, he reached under the roller guard, bent down, and accidentally depressed the activator foot pedal. The hold-down lowered and injured his fingers. The accident was caused by intentionally placing a hand beyond the safety of the machine guard and into the zone of danger around the hold down device and the blade of the shear.
