Narrative

A tire fell behind the press. An employee was attempting to remove the tire from behind the press when the tire became caught between the mold can and guarding. Another employee lowered the mold can which caught the end of the injured employee's boot between the upper and lower mold rings, resulting in an amputation of four toes on the right foot.
