26 Feb 2026 All FAB Precision Sheetmetal, Inc.Sheet metal fabricator: second amputation on the same press brake – Cal/OSHA $212,850 USA, CAWorkplace safety and accidents €180,168

In June 2025, an employee in San Jose lost a finger on a press brake without guarding – identical to an accident in June 2024 for which the business had already been fined $43,500. The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) imposed $212,850 (including a wilful repeat violation); the employer appealed.

What organisations can take from it

After an accident, retrofitting the machine is mandatory – an identical second accident will be treated as wilful.
