Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:00 a.m. on July 26, 2029, an employee was operating multiple machines. The employee loaded parts in injection molding press M-438, hit optic sensor buttons to start the machine, and then stepped off the pressure sensing safety mat to move to injection molding press M-512. The employee realized he left the sprue in injection molding press M-438. He turned around with one foot on the pressure sensing safety mat and reached into the press while it was cycling. The press did not stop. The employee sustained lacerations and contusions to the left hand which resulted in hospitalization.
