Abstract: At 10:00 a.m. on January 25, 2020, Employee #1 was using a hydraulic rubber molding press. The press was a Dongguan City Kesheng Machinery Co., LTD model KSH-2RT-200T. Employee #1 reached into the danger zone with his hand to remove a rubber bumper plate that had stuck to the upper die. He inadvertently pressed the control button with his stomach or side, which caused the mold-ring/pot and bottom die to raise back up and pinch his fingers. He sustained amputation of the middle, ring, and pinky fingers near the first digit. He was hospitalized.
