Investigation Summary
At approximately 4:30 p.m. on November 18, 2001, Employee #1, a machine operator, was changing out the dies in a AJAX Number 4499 manual header without the offsetter being locked out. A coworker was helping to adjust shims when he accidentally stepped on the foot pedal. The machine cycled with Employee #1's hands in the die. Employee #1's index and middle finger were amputated below the second knuckle on his right hand. Both hands also were partially crushed. Employee #1 had received lockout/tagout training and had used lockout procedures for die changes earlier in the day.
