Incident on Jan 10, 2003: Employee injured when fingers crushed by broaching machine
On January 10, 2003, Employee #1 was using a broaching machine, Model VT-315B, S erial Number 1673, manufactured by Pioneer Broach Company, to create serrations on the outside of small parts, which had outer diameters of 0.375 inches and inn er diameters of 0.25 inches. He encountered a problem with the machine and that required adjustments to the travel limits of the broach ram that moved the rod, with the mounted parts, up and down inside the machine. Employee #1 asked a cowo rker, a maintenance/setup man, to fix the problem. The coworker made some adjust ments and told Employee #1 that the machine was fixed. After the coworker left t he area, Employee #1 noticed the same problem occurring with the machine. This t ime, Employee #1 decided to make the adjustments himself. He opened up a small d oor on the machine to access the adjustment knobs while the machine was still en ergized. He had his left hand in the machine when the ram activated. All the fin gers on Employee #1's left hand were crushed. He was transported to Western Medi cal Center for treatment.
