Investigation Summary
At 10:15 a.m. on February 4, 2020, an employee was operating the Shalco machine that formed core molds in a foundry that made furnace boilers. The employee was standing on the left side of the machine blowing the sand out of the mold box with the compressed air wand. There were 4 alignment pins located on each corner of the mold that made sure the top and bottom boxes came together correctly to form the mold. The pins were located approximately 6 inches inside the metal frame. The employee's left hand was resting on the back left alignment pin when the mold began to close. The employee's left index finger was amputated up to the first knuckle by the alignment pin and cup. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
