Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was using a 10-ton V and O full revolution mechanical power press to stamp mail box parts. He was using a hand tool to load the press, but had placed a part in the die incorrectly. Employee #1 was realigning the part with his left index finger when he inadvertently depressed the pedal, activating the press and crushing the side of his finger. Employee #1 suffered debridement of the skin and tissue on the side of his finger and a crushing fracture of the first joint. The press had no point of operation guard; the machine was dismantled and taken out of service after the accident.
