Abstract: At 3:05 p.m. on May 17, 2021, an employee working as a laborer for a company that performs metal forging was operating a Falcon Chevalier Model FM-3VS Mill (serial number BM S71303). The employee was using the mill as a drill press and was preparing to drill into a metal work piece. A coworker had set the mill up for the employee with an 11/16-inch drill bit in the spindle. The employee caught her hand in the mill causing it to become wrapped around the bit. The employee was hospitalized to treat severe burns to her upper arms, fractures to her hand, lacerations to her index and middle fingers, and ring and pinky fingertip amputations.
