Employee Amputates Finger Using Molding Press

At approximately 6:00 p.m. on April 15, 2005, Employee #1 was changing the mold on compression molding machine Number 474 located in the molding department. Employee #1 removed four bolts from the front and back of the mold and then pressed the automatic button to allow the press to automatically come down. As the press was coming down, Employee #1 attempted to use his right index finger to push out a part that was on the side of the press where there was an unguarded opening that was 2-ft long, 2-in. wide and 4-in. deep. As Employee #1's right index finger was in the opening, the press came down and struck his finger causing an amputation. Employee #1 was treated for his injuries but was not hospitalized.
