Employee' Finger Is Injured by a Spot Welder

At about 12:50 a.m. on November 8, 2006, Employee #1's right middle finger became caught between the welding tip of a resistance spot welder and a part. She received an avulsion of the tip of the finger. Placing parts in and taking welded parts out were routine tasks Employee #1 performed. The spot welder had been manufactured by the employer. The welder's two-hand control (finger activated) was programmed as a triggering mechanism and did not provide the operator protection from the point of operation.
