Abstract: At 8:15 a.m. on August 23, 2019, an employee was showing their coworker a non-functioning part of an end forming machine that required repair. As the employee put his left hand in between the hydraulic jaws of the machine to point directly at the part, the machine cycled, closing on the employee's hand. The employee's hand was crushed, resulting in hospitalization and amputation of the ring, middle, and index fingers.
