Abstract: On June 28, 1994, Employee #1, a metal, plastic, stone, and glass working machine operator for Cimco, was operating a plastic injection molding machine and a drill press. The drill press was used to mill excessive plastic from the part that came out of the molding machine. Employee #1 was wearing a glove to handle the hot part of the item. The part was placed in a clamping device. Employee #1 then used the drill press to mill down the excess plastic of the item that was clamped. While using the drill press on the item, Employee #1's glove was caught by the rotating drill bit. This action resulted in amputation of her left ring finger below the first knuckle.
