Narrative

On May 8, 2024, at approximately 2:30 AM, two team members were retrieving a plate that popped out of the head puller/stretcher of an extrusion press and were putting it back into place using a crowbar and a small piece of aluminum. When the plate shifted back into place, the injured employee's right index finger was pinched under the plate and amputated.
