Narrative

On May 6, 2021, an employee was being trained on a press. The washers on the press arm kept falling down. The machine cycled while the employee was trying to wipe the area where the washers were. The employee's finger was caught between the press arm and the motor resulting in an amputation to the left index fingertip.
