Narrative

An employee was helping another employee put a block under an aluminum mold machine. After he stepped away from the machine, another employee began to turn it on; noticing that the block had shifted, the first employee tried to adjust it. The machine smashed his right index and middle fingers (causing severe lacerations), as well as the tip of his ring finger.
