Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 735746

Event: 12/04/1984

Employee's arm twisted by spinning metal bar

Employee #1 was operating a swagging machine. He was putting the ends of steel reinforcing bars into the machine to reduce the diameters of the ends prior to threading them. One of the rollers in the machine broke, apparently causing the bar, which was being hand-fed, to rotate and catch the employee's glove and then his shirt sleeve. His arm twisted to the extent that it later had to be surgically amputated.
