Abstract: At 5:50 p.m. on November 24, 2020, an employee was in the process of setting a new die in a machine. The die was clamped in place, and the employee was removing the supports when one of the supports slipped, creating a pinch point. As the support fell, the employee's finger became trapped between the support and the die. The incident resulted in a crush injury to the employee's finger, which sustained fractures and cuts due to the approximately 40-pound support falling. The employee was immediately provided with medical attention for the injuries sustained but was not hospitalized.
