Employee's hands crushed while changing die on press brake

Employee #1, age 19, was leaning over a press brake machine, changing the die. He grabbed the die from its front side in the center and was attempting to turn it over when his head struck the button that controls the ram. The ram came down, crushing both of his hands. Employee #1 was transported to Union Memorial Hospital's Hand Center for reconstructive surgery. The employer did not have an emergency control program or provide training in it. The jam control button also had a mushroom head, which contributed to the accident.
