Abstract: On November 30, 1993, Employee #1 was operating a box folder and gluer. There was a buildup of glue, so Employee #1 proceeded to clean the machine rollers. Instead of shutting down the equipment and tagging it out as instructed, the employee grabbed a scraper and started to clean the excess glue off the rollers. The scraper then became caught between the rollers, pulling Employee #1's arm in between the rollers. He sustained a chipped bone in the elbow and a small cut.
