Investigation Summary
At 12:15 p.m. on December 2, 2004, Employee #1, a machinist, was operating a metal cutting saw that was improperly guarded in an approximate 1,000 square feet machine shop. The employer specializes in machining metal parts. Employee #1 was cutting 4- to 6-inch rings out of a cylinder that measured about 4-feet high by 4-feet wide and attached to a Waldrich Siegen lathe, Part Number L-4. The lathe was equipped with a circular saw that rotated in the opposite direction of the lathe. As Employee #1 was using a handheld jig to measure the thickness of each ring, the saw was still running. The saw blade caught Employee #1's glove on his left hand and pulled his hand into the danger zone. He suffered the amputation of a whole finger and partial second finger on his left hand. Emergency services we contacted, and Employee #1 was transported to a local hospital, where he was hospitalized and treated for his injury.
