Abstract: At about 4:30 p.m. on December 23, 1991, at the C.F. Printing Services Co., Employee #1 was cleaning ink off the rollers of a Hamada 770 printing press for shut down at the end of the shift. The solvent-soaked rag became caught in the running rollers and was drawn into the machine along with Employee #1's left hand. A coworker saw the situation when Employee #1 yelled and rushed over to turn off the press. Because Employee #1's left hand and forearm were caught, the rollers had to be removed to free him. Employee #1 was taken to Little Company of Mary Hospital for treatment.
