Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a machinist, was attempting to remove stock that was jammed in a cutting machine. The ON-OFF switch to the machine was turned off but it was not locked out. A supervisor heard Employee #1 say that the stock was jammed and, thinking the machine was on, switched the ON-OFF toggle switch to its opposite position, thereby turning the machine back on. Employee #1's right index and middle fingers, which were under the cutting blade, were amputated near the first knuckles.
