Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 202529939
Event: 11/24/2009
Employee's Finger Is Amputated When Caught Between Parts

On November 24, 2009, Employee #1 was disassembling brake calipers at Centric Parts, a remanufacturer of brake calipers. Caliper disassembly requires the use of both hands. One hand steadies the caliper housing on the bench. The other hand fits an air nozzle to a fitting, and compressed air (at 90 psi) ejects the pistons toward a retaining bar. During this process, Employee # 1's left ring finger was pinched between the metal retaining bar and the piston that was being ejected. He sustained crushing and partial amputation of the finger tip.
