Investigation Summary
On May 2, 2006, Employee #1 was operating a Lodge and Shipley mechanical press brake to make parts during a production run. He inadvertently stepped on the foot pedal, while his left hand was in the point of operation. The press brake cycled and severed the four of Employee #1's left fingers. It was determined that, at the time of the accident, the operator was not protected from the point of operation by means of physical barrier or a physical device.
