Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:30 a.m. on February 3, 2012, Employee #1 was working for his employer, an electrical contractor. Employee #1 was assigned the task of operating an electrical conduit threading machine, a Ridgid Model Number 300 (an electrically-powered pipe threader). Three jaws clamped pipes from the outside while a foot pedal would be used to rotate the pipe. Employee #1 stuck his fingers into the back opening while the pipe was rotating in order to determine how far the pipe was located away from the clamps. The clamps were designed to close when they encounter resistance, and Employee #1's fingers provided enough resistance to trigger them. The clamps closed down on Employee #1's fingers and amputated his left middle finger. Employee #1 was transported to St Jude Medical Center then transferred to Western Medical Center - Santa Ana, where he was admitted for two nights for treatment.
