Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:30 p.m. on March 3, 2009, Employee #1, a repair mechanic, was using a Northfield Foundry and Machine Company Model 16-HD Jointer, Serial number A010109-A, without a push stick, to manufacture a shop aid for use on a nearby ripsaw that he was repairing. His left hand slipped, and the middle and ring fingers were amputated, as well as the tip of his small finger. No one witnessed the event, but several workers returning from lunch saw him standing there, holding his bloody hand. Employee #1 was taken to Superior Care Medical Center by his supervisor in a private car, after checking with the supervisor's manager for procedures. Superior Care could not help them and directed them to the Western Hand and Orthopedics Center, where Employee #1 was treated and released the same day, with several follow-up visits.
