Investigation Summary
At 11:30 p.m. on October 4, 2020, an employee was using a pair of snip pliers to remove the sprue plug from the Cincinnati Milicron Mold Machine #14 during the machine warmup process. When the sprue plug was removed, the pressure inside the machine caused molten resin to be ejected onto the employee's left hand and arm. The employee was hospitalized to treat second degree burns to the left arm and hand.
