Event description

Employee's thumb is lacerated in sheet metal press

Investigation abstract

At 12:40 p.m. on November 11, 2021, an employee of a sheet metal manufacturing company was adjusting sheet metal between the two plates of a CNC folder/press. While the employee was holding the sheet metal in place, the CNC folder/press was activated. The employee's thumb became caught underneath the edge of the sheet metal and was lacerated. He was treated without hospitalization. There was a lack of proper safeguards while working within the zone of the CNC folder/press, as well as a lack of proper tools to use the CNC folder/press.
