Investigation Nr: 789263

Event: 10/17/1996

Employee injured when pinned between loader and work table

At approximately 12:15 a.m. on October 17, 1996, Employee #1, a numerical control machinist at P&A Metal Fab, Inc., a manufacturing plant in Clackamas, OR, was working on an automated metal cutting laser machine. After inputting program information into one of the control panels, he inadvertently positioned himself within the machine's work envelope. When the loader/unloader began its return trip to the material rack, a clamp bracket on the loader caught on the employee's shirt and dragged him across the work table, pinning him between the loader and the work table. Within seconds, a coworker ran from his work station and activated the emergency STOP button. Employee #1 suffered a fractured ankle and lacerations to his arms, chest, and face, and was transported to the hospital by ambulance.
