Investigation Summary
At 1:00 p.m. on February 1, 2022, an employee and two coworkers were conducting a die change on an aluminum extrusion press. To assist in the placement of an extruded part, the employee placed his hand in the point-of-operation of the puller's clamp. The clamp cycled and the employee's right hand became trapped between the clamp and the hot metal part. The employee was hospitalized for treatment of burns on his right hand.
