Narrative

On February 5, 2016, at approximately 12:30pm, an employee was injured while operating a full revolution mechanical power press. The employee was transferring can parts into a redraw die. Two fingers on his right hand became trapped between the can part and the working die as he removed the can part from the machine, resulting in a partial amputation of the middle and ring fingers.
