| Summary Nr: 201032984 | Event: 03/29/2000 | Employee'S Hand Fractured When Caught In Stamping Press | ||||
| At approximately 11:30 a.m. on March 29, 2000, a shop supervisor for a company that made nonmetallic gaskets, was using a Rousselle stamping press, model 6W-76, serial #13593, to cut foil-covered fiberglass gaskets. The 60-ton press had a steel-ruled die consisting of an upper wood block, which held thin pieces of flat stock steel bent to the outline of the desired gasket, and a lower wood block. A screw holding the die to the upper platen had been marring the surfaces of the raw material used to make the gaskets, and Employee #1, the company president, intended to glue a piece of sponge rubber over the screw head. He was reaching into the machine when the press operator kicked or stepped on the foot-actuated lever and the press cycled. Employee #1's right hand became caught between the platens, which stopped about 1 in. apart at the bottom of the stroke. He suffered multiple fractures in his hand, for which he was hospitalized. Employee #1 failed to de-energize the press and to block the ram to prevent movement prior to reaching inside. | ||||||
