Narrative

A temporary employee was cleaning a mold while preparing it to be placed in a mold press. The employee stepped down some steps and lost balance. While attempting to catch themselves, the employee's hand went into the machine's conveyor system and was caught between the roller and the mold plate, partially amputating the left ring finger.
