Investigation Summary
On August 25, 2006, Employee #1 was operating an alligator shear, manufactured by Enterprise Company (Model Number 216RH, Serial Number E3000), while it was in automatic mode. The machine was equipped with a 16-in. cutting blade. Employee #1 was cutting off the edges of a 10-ft by 3-ft industrial radiator. As he was feeding this material into the shear, Employee #1 lost his balance and fell onto the shear. While attempting to regain his balance, Employee #1's left hand got caught between the jaws of the automatically-operating shear. Employee #1's fingers were crushed and nearly amputated by the machine. Three of his fingers were reattached at the hospital, and the fourth finger needed to be amputated. Employee #1 was hospitalized for eight days.
