Incident on May 12, 2021: Employee incurs multiple injuries when pinched in hydraulic

At 12:45 p.m. on May 12, 2021, an employee working as a machine operator for a metal foundry was attempting to troubleshoot slides getting stuck in a D&D Machinery Company Hydraulic Trim Press. The employee hit the limit switch causing a slide to return back to the home position. The employee had his left hand in an unsafe position when the slide returned causing it to pinch his hand. The employee amputated his pinky finger, fractured his thumb and ring finger, and lacerated his forearm. The employee was hospitalized for treatment.
