[REDACTED] was working with a team of Production Employees running parts on Press [REDACTED]. His job was to move a part from one nest in a die to another between strikes and to clear out scrap as it builds up.

Early on in the shift [REDACTED] picked up a piece of scrap metal out of the lower portion of the die. As he moved the piece to the scrap bin he misjudged the height of the bin and the scrap piece struck the lip of the bin. This caused the metal piece to drive backwards with the sharp point poking through his cut resistant glove and into his palm.
