Investigation Summary
On January 10, 2008 at 1:30 p.m., Employee #1 of Lehman's Manufacturing Company, Inc. of Fresno, CA was performing regularly assigned duties as a Fabricator and Shop Foreman at the steel fabricating facility. Employee #1 was operating a Pacific, 400-ton capacity, press brake fabricating an approximately 0.25-inch thick stainless steel plate into a cone shape for the company. Employee #1 was crimping the plate material by a series of short quick compression strokes by the press when operated by a foot-controlled pedal switch. During the procedure, Employee #1 was able to place his left hand in between the punch and die of the device as the press was cycling through its down stroke. The procedure severely crushed and partially amputated three of Employee #1's fingers on his left hand. Employee #1 was transported to Fresno Regional Medical Center for treatment. The DOSH Fresno District Office was notified on the same day at 3:15 p.m. by the employer.
