Employee #1 was a production supervisor for a company using injection molding machines to make audio discs. Employee #1 was called to a malfunctioning machine. When Employee #1 reached under the sliding interlocking safety door to remove a stuck disc he intended to hit a control button that would eject the disc, but instead pressed a button one line away, which closed the mold. Employee #1 suffered the amputation of his left index finger near the knuckle. Employee #1 was treated for his injuries but not hospitalized.
