Incident on May 20, 2011: Employee catches fingertip in cylinder cap and is amputated
On May 20, 2011, Employee #1 and a coworker were removing a hydraulic cylinder f rom a four post auto lift to be rotated and placed back into the lift. The cylin der and other cylinders were not correctly placed in the auto lift when shipped. Each cylinder weighed approximately 168 lbs. The pin that secured the cylinder end cap to the mounting holes on the lift would not fit easily into the holes. E mployee #1 placed his finger in the hole to help align the pin and used a large screwdriver to level out the cylinder. The cylinder slipped and the tip of his r ight index finger was amputated by the shearing action of the cylinder end cap a nd the mounting hole of the lift. Employee #1 lost his grip on the cylinder, whe n it moved. The causal factors were that the cylinder was not secured from loose ning and falling, the employee had his finger in the zone of danger, and the pin was more difficult to align into the holes for this cylinder. Employee #1 was t ransported to a medical center, where he received treatment on the injured finge rtip and was then released.
