Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:30 p.m. on February 8, 1995, Employee #1, of International Medication System, El Monte, CA, was working on injection molding machine #A-5 in the molding area of building #12.

During the investigation, the employer was advised to relocate the hydraulic fitting on the machine to eliminate the pinch point area. Employee #1 could not be reached for an interview. The manager reported that Employee #1 was trying to hurry while moving the injection unit forward.
