Narrative

Employees were removing dies from a press. The injured employee was guiding a suspended die set by hand to ensure proper placement on the skid when the employee's gloved fingertips were pinched between the upper and lower dies of the blanket die set as it was lowered by a hoist onto a skid. The employee's left middle and ring fingertips were amputated.
