Abstract: Employee #1 was operating presses number 5,6,7, and 8 on the morning of the accident. At the time of the accident, she was removing finished work from molds on press #7. The employee was standing in front of the press and was reaching in to remove the completed work before the press had fully opened. The press is steam heated and hydraulically operated. The top mold had momentarily stuck in the up position. It then fell on Employee #1's hands, amputating the left little finger. The employer manufactures diaphragms for truck brakes. At the time of the accident, Employee #1 was operating the press. She was a regular, full-time employee.
