Final narrative
An employee was climbing over a piece of equipment to check the hydraulic fluid levels in a hydraulic press when they suffered a broken arm and a soft tissue injury.
An employee was heating water in a stainless steel work sink to perform a cleaning operation. The water began boiling, so the employee introduced cold water into the bottom of the sink to cool it down. The reaction of the cold and hot water and the force of the water going into the bottom of the sink caused the water to spew out from the sink and splash onto the employee. He sustained second degree burns to the front of both of his legs and a spot on his abdomen and right forearm. The water was estimated to be at a temperature of 212 degrees.
An employee was operating a metal roller machine to roll a small piece of metal. The employee's right index finger became caught between the metal and the machine, and the fingertip was amputated.
An employee was working on a production line. The employee went to retrieve parts that came out of the parts holder, and their left hand became caught between a chain and a sprocket. Three fingers on the hand were amputated.
An employee was hooking up bundled tie-downs with a chain. While he was holding a hook, the other hook was unlocked. This caused the employee's hook to slide down and pinch his right index finger between the chain and the shackle. He suffered an amputation to the fingertip (without bone loss), as well as an open fracture.
An employee was operating a pad printer. The employee's finger was caught in the printer and they suffered a fingertip amputation. The part of the printer that caught the employee's finger was unguarded at the time.
