Employee Amputates Finger in Rotating Hose

On March 31, 2010, Employee #1 was injured while operating a piece of equipment for the first time without supervision. The machine was designed to install and/or remove fittings on the ends of hydraulic hoses and consisted of a Manual "ON/OFF" Switch on the left side, a rotating die, and a vise that was used to hold one end of the fitting controlled by a manual lever by the right hand. Employee #1 was removing a frozen fitting and clamped the hose in the vise rather than the fitting. The hose began to spin in the vise area and caught Employee #1's glove and twisted his arm and fingers. His middle finger had to be amputated at the second joint. The employee was not hospitalized.
