Investigation Summary
Investigation Nr: 200532364

Employee Amputates Finger While Cutting Metal
On April 4, 2008, Employee #1, a machine operator, was using an Accupress Accushear, 0.5-inch by 20-inch metal shear. He was cutting 4-inch metal strips into 3-inch lengths. The barrier guard was 6 inches from the metal blade. As he made the last cut, he placed his right hand under the barrier guard and stepped on the foot pedal, activating the hold down device and the blade. His right middle finger was smashed between the hold down device and the metal sheet. His finger was amputated, but he was not hospitalized for treatment.
