Incident on Aug 4, 2010: Employee amputates finger while retrieving scrap from press

At approximately 9:45 a.m. on August 4, 2010, Employee #1 and his coworker were operating a 1, 000 ton, Clearing Bliss Niagara, part-revolution, two-hand contro l, mechanical power press. While the coworker was located at the front of the pr ess actuating scrap metal, Employee #1 was located at the rear, pulling the scra p from the press. The product being processed was new to the company and require d additional machinery that the employer did not have. Instead, the plant manage r instructed Employee #1 to use the existing power press, which although had lig ht curtains at the front, had no safeguarding at its rear. Also, due to the inco mpatibility of the new product and the existing press, Employee #1 was required to reach into the press, at the rear, to retrieve scrap after each and every cyc le. As Employee #1 reached into the press to retrieve a piece of scrap, the pres s cycled and crushed his left index finger. Employee #1 was taken to a nearby ho spital, where he was hospitalized and treated for his injury, requiring amputati on.
