Final narrative
In a precast concrete production building, an employee was handling a fiberglass mold used to cast a concrete double waste container. The mold was cured and ready to be popped/separated. As part of this process, the employee covered the holes inside the mold to prevent air from escaping. Air was then pushed into the mold to release it from the product. When the mold let go from the casted product, it amputated both of the employee's index fingertips.
