Narrative

An employee was operating an electro-pneumatic, air-powered, mold-controlled system. As the mold was coming out of the machine (the mold is heated up to 200 degrees), it became lodged between the doors. When the employee attempted to dislodge the mold, the doors slammed shut on his left hand, lacerating his hand and causing first degree burns on his left wrist and forearm. He was hospitalized.
