Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170189773
Event: 04/19/1991
Employee's finger amputated in metal-cutting bandsaw

At approximately 4:15 p.m. on April 19, 1991, Employee #1 fed a piece of 1 3/4 in. bar stock into a hydraulically controlled, metal-cutting bandsaw. He saw that the wire brush that cleaned off the metal cuttings was not making contact with the bar stock. Employee #1 then loosened the bolt that held the wire brush in place and retightened it, while the machine was running. After the initial adjustment, the wire brush was still not functional, so he had to readjust it again. As Employee #1 reached in with his left hand, his middle finger contacted the unguarded bandsaw, amputating approximately 3/4 in. of his finger.
