Narrative

An employee was operating a hydraulic press by foot pedal. Her right hand was on the press as she bent to retrieve parts that fell on the floor. As she reached for the parts, her foot activated the press and two of her right-hand fingers were caught in the die. Her pinky and ring fingers were partially amputated.
