Narrative

At 2:30pm on 07/06/2015, an employee was working on the Pines Bender making metal parts. He loaded a part into the pressure die and held onto the part with his left hand so it wouldn't "whip out" as the pressure die closed. The part was not positioned against the locate, and his pinky finger was pinched between the part and the pressure die as the pressure die closed amputating the fingertip.
