Investigation Summary
At about 10:40 p.m. on August 13, 2003, Employee #1, a press welder with Felbro, Incorporated, was using a stationary electric press-welder to weld flat metal grids. When his left index finger was under the ram, he inadvertently pressed the foot pedal, causing the ram to slide down onto the finger. Employee #1 was hospitalized for an amputation. There was no point of operation guard or other safety device on the press and Employee #1 was not using a hand extension tool to hold the metal grid when accident occurred.
