Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 200740231

Event: 10/14/1997

Employee's finger fractured in hydraulic press

Employee #1 was using a homemade, pedal-operated hydraulic press that applied 100 psi of pressure at 350 degrees F for 3 1/2 minutes to seal rubber gaskets into oval shapes. She later stated that the mold from which she was taking a finished gasket came down and crushed her finger. In a similar accident on April 7, 1997, a coworker was inserting the rubber into the mold on the same type of machine when she accidentally depressed the pedal and the press actuated, fracturing her thumb.
