The running rollers (6,500 revolutions/hour) pulled his left hand in and crushed it. The left thumb had to be amputated in the hospital, where he stayed for 5 days. After the investigation, the employer was cited for the serious violation of T8CCR 3314(a). Other serious and general violations were found and the employer was cited accordingly.
