Employee's leg injured when pinned by hydraulic press

At 10:15 a.m. on April 3, 1991, Employee #1 was picking up a hydraulic press from a repair shop to bring it back to the plant. The hydraulic press, which had a high center of gravity, was being hoisted by the shop owner's portable electric lift. Employee #1 was standing alongside the hydraulic press to steady it as it was placed on the tracks when it began to tip off the lift and fell toward Employee #1. The hydraulic press pinned his leg against the ground, fracturing it. Paramedics from the Culver City Fire Department transported Employee #1 to the UCLA Medical Center in Westwood.
