Investigation Summary
On July 3, 2007, Employee #1, a shear operator, was attempting to unjam the fabric shear. He tried to clear the jam by unscrewing a component that secured the blade to the push-rod. The blade fell, striking Employee #1's right index finger, causing an amputation. The shear was not deenergized at the time. Employee #1 was hospitalized for treatment.
