Narrative

On April 14, 2022, a three-person team was working to remove the top and bottom molds from a casting. As one employee was trying to open the clamp holding the molds together, a second employee began to remove the top mold using a crane. The first employee's left ring finger was caught between the top mold and one of the clamps, causing a partial amputation to the fingertip.
