Narrative

On 6/4/2015, at approximately 12:30 a.m., an employee was operating a sheet metal break press and attempting to bend a sheet metal part. He was performing a two-hand operation, holding one piece of metal with both hands. His right hand was on top of the metal, and his pinky fingertip was crushed by the ram as it lowered. There was no guard in place at the time. The employee was hospitalized.
