Employee's Finger Amputated in Hydraulic Press

Employee #1 and a coworker were operating a 2-ton, hydraulic press. They were inserting rubber components into the press to place a metal piece inside the grommet. The two employees got out of sync. When the Employee #1 placed a part in the die from the side, the coworker did not see his hand and cycled the press, which crushed and amputated Employee #1's right index finger tip. Employee #1 was not hospitalized.
