Abstract: At approximately 6:55 a.m. on June 18, 2003, Employee #1 was working for an employer that was engaged in manufacturing of rubber coupling and molded rubber products. Employee #1 was removing jammed rubber from an injection molding press (Engel B-7 press, Model Number 27898, Type-ES3600T) in the feeder area by using a metal hook with a T-handle. Employee #1's supervisor turned on the press by turning the power switch at the control panel while Employee #1 was removing the rubber. As the screw drive moved, the hook got pulled into the feed throat and Employee #1's fingers on his right hand got crushed between the handle of the hook and the feed throat. Employee #1's right index and middle fingers were amputated as a result of the accident. Employee #1 was taken to the hospital, and treated for his injuries. Employee #1 was a regular employee of the employer.
