Narrative

On October 4, 2016, at approximately 10:00 AM, an employee was operating a small full-revolution clutch mechanical power bench press, forming and punching recliner hardware. The press was equipped with two palm buttons, light curtains, and two mechanical side guards. Unexpectedly, the top ram came down and pinned the employee's left hand against the bottom half of the die. She suffered broken fingers and was hospitalized for surgery.
