Investigation Summary
At 11:30 a.m. on July 4, 2019, an employee was lubricating a forming die while using a swab to apply a release agent to the die on the back side of the machine. A coworker working out of view on the front side of the machine actuated it while the employee had his hand in the die. The employee had three fingers amputated as a result and was hospitalized.
