Employee's Hands Are Crushed by Die Press

On November 18, 2005, Employee #1 and a coworker were working on a die press, which operated on electric and pneumatic energy. Employee #1, a mechanic, was at the back of the machine directing his coworker, the lead operator, to use the on-off switch to place the machine on a plane whereby work on the die could be repositioned. During this operation, the machine went into full cycle, crushing Employee #1's hands. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
