Investigation Summary
On October 18, 2012, Employee #1, a 44-year-old male with Gulfstream Steel and Supply Inc., was operating Bertsch, Model eight, pinch type bending roll machine, forming .05 in. thick, 75 in. long rebar into thirty-six-inch diameter rebar circles in the Service Center building. The machine supervisor demonstrated to Employee #1 how to feed rebar into rollers to form the circles, and then observed Employee #1 form a couple of circles then departed to another shop located in another building. While feeding two pieces of rebar, side by side, Employee #1's left hand got caught in the rebar, which caused his fingers to be crushed by the roller and rebar. Employee #1 was wearing gloves, which were caught in rebar. Employee #1 then reached the control station and reversed the lever to back up the hand from the rollers. Employee #1 walked out of the building and met the Service Center Manager, who arranged for Employee #1 to be transported to an urgent care facility. Employee #1 was then transported via ambulance to a hospital for treatment. Employee #1 was a contract employee.
