Narrative

On or about 3/31/2015, at approximately 9:50 p.m., an employee was hospitalized with a chin laceration. The employee was operating a mechanically powered hot trim press. After the press cycle, the work piece became stuck in the upper die of the press. The work piece then fell from the die and struck the hand tongs the employee was holding, which caused the tong's handle to strike the employee in the chin.
