Incident on Jun 4, 2018: Employee sustains amputation of fingertip and thumb

He was troubleshooting the facility's tube fabrication saw machine Number 170. The tip of the index finger and the thumb on his right hand became caught in a tooling clamp on the machine. The clamp on the machine pulled the fingertip and the thumb into the tooling. The employee sustained the amputation of his fingertip and thumb.

Incident on Mar 15, 2018: Employee fractures toe when caught in elevator
At 5:30 p.m. on March 15, 2018, Employee #1 went to the front of the elevator and starting to secure the wires and sensors on the air conditioning units being assembled on an assembly line, after the sheet metal body had been added. As the employee worked on the unit, it twisted as it entered the elevator and jammed. The employee placed her right foot on top of the cross bar frame and was standing with her heel against the exterior cross bar framework of the elevator housing. The employee used her hands to push on the corner of the unit. This caused the unit to turn back to its proper position. The assembly line was still on, so when the unit straightened out, it went into the elevator and actuated a pressure switch. This activated the pneumatically controlled elevator, causing it to drop approximately eight inches. When the cross bar frame of the elevator, which houses the elevator, came down, it trapped the employees right foot between the two cross pieces, fracturing her right little toe. Employee #1 was hospitalized for treatment.
