Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was manually removing plastic waste baskets from a mold. The machine normally had a robot that removes parts, but it was not functioning. The plate that forms the bottom of the wastebasket pneumatically ejects the parts from the mold, then retracts into position. Employee #1 caught her finger in the pinch point while removing the part.
