Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:15 p.m. on April 21, 1995, Employee #1 was operating a Bliss foot-powered punch press when the two middle fingers of his right hand became caught in the machine's point of operation and his fingertips were amputated. Employee #1 was admitted to Chapman General Hospital, Orange. The front portion of the press' plastic barrier guard had a 4 in. by 8 in. opening that did not prevent the operator's hand or fingers from entering the point of operation. The employer violated 8CCR 4207(a)(1) and a serious citation is being issued. A serious citation is also being issued for failure to guard the foot pedal from unintended operation.
