Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:30 a.m. on November 12, 2013, Employee #1, with American Security Products Company, was operating a metal cutting horizontal bandsaw (DoALL; Model Number: C305; Serial Number: 534-01334) at the manufacturing facility. The bandsaw had a barrier guide plate attached to the saw's table, for guiding the cut pieces. Employee #1 began cutting ten ft long double stacked, right angled, steel bars (dimensions: one in. by one in. by one-quarter in.) into six ins. pieces. During cutting the last piece, Employee #1 moved the guide plate away and tried to hold the doubled stacked steel bars with his right hand. At this time, the moving saw blade pushed the top bar about 90 degrees, pinching Employee #1's middle finger tip between it and the saw's right end barrier plate wall. Initially, Employee #1 was driven by his supervisor to a medical facility, but he was later transferred to a hospital, where he underwent surgery for a partial finger amputation. Employee #1 was sent home the same day within three to four hours. The cause of the accident was that the employer had not identified the pinching hazards and proper work practices for of a barrier guide plate that was not provided on the saw. Employee #1 was not hospitalized.
