Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:45 p.m. on November 10, 2008, Employee #1, a general manager of a retail store, was assisting a forklift operator in moving an old and unused Chicago brake press into an adjacent storage shed. The employer is a family owned and operated business engaged in handling residential Plumbing and HVAC repair/ maintenance service. The brake press measured 72 inches long by 36 inches wide, by 53 inches high and weighed 1,200 lbs. The forklift being used for the relocation of the brake press was a Genie forklift, Model Number GTH-5519, and it was being used in the upright position. As the forklift operator was lifting the top portion of the press with its forks, while Employee #1 was holding its sides, the brake press slipped and fell backward on Employee #1's left hand. His left hand became pinched between the presses inactive dies, degloving his left pinky finger and partially amputating his left middle and ring fingers. Emergency services were contacted and Employee #1 was taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center in Loma Linda, CA, where he underwent surgery for treatment.
