Narrative

On September 20, 2022, an employee was installing wear pads under the newly installed mold carrier in a plastic injection press carrier. The employee used a crane with a nylon sling to slightly tilt the carrier so the wear pads could be placed. The sling failed, snapped, and struck the employee's left index finger, causing an amputation to the finger.
