Narrative

Three employees were using a portable hydraulic press to remove a part from a machine during maintenance operations. The portable hydraulic press weighs 40 to 50 pounds and is about half the size of a coffee can. The portable press disengaged during operation and fell off the machine, striking and amputating the injured employee's left pinky finger.
