Investigation Summary
At approximately 6:30 a.m. on February 16, 2012, Employee #1, a machine operator, was operating the company's "tabber machine," Verson All Steel press Company, Serial Number 19846-2078-50, under a supervisory coworker. Employee #1 tended the tabber machine when a rod jammed the machine and the ram stopped. He went to the rear of the machine and attempted to remove the jammed rod without first disconnecting the power to the machine. When the rod moved, the ram continued its cycle and crushed Employee #1's right hand. The supervisor had walked away from the accident site prior to the jam. Employee #1 was taken to the local medical center by emergency responders, where he was admitted for surgery on his crushed and lacerated right hand.
