Investigation Summary
At 11:30 a.m. on April 18, 2019, Employee #1, employed by a bulk handling equipment manufacturing company, was moving a 120 inch by 60 inch sheet of ? inch thick carbon steel onto a plasma table while the table was operating. There are two conflicting reports. One is that, as the plate was transferred to the table, it was accidentally dropped by a coworker who was operating the overhead crane and it pinched Employee #1's right middle finger between the plate and the table grating. The second report is that the plate struck an emergency stop (E-stop) cable and then swung down pinching Employee #1's fingertip between the table grating and the steel plate. His right middle fingertip was amputated. Hospitalization was not required.
