Investigation Summary
On November 13, 2012, Employee #1 of Aerotek, Inc., sustained an amputation injury to the left middle fingertip when it was caught between a part on a hydraulic compression molding press die and the shear edge of the mold cavity. Common practice was to wedge a bolt between the body of the pneumatic ejection system spring-loaded valve and its control lever in order to keep the ejection pins in the raised position to facilitate removal of stuck parts. In this case, the pins retracted quickly per design, pulled the stuck part back against the die mold, and trapped Employee #1's finger.
