Abstract: At 5:00 a.m. on February 16, 1995, Employee #1 and a coworker, both printers, were changing plates on each side of the Goss Community printing press, serial # LB3831and LB2972. Employee #1 would press the inch button once, moving the rollers one inch, and a bell would ring twice. Once, however, the coworker mistakenly thought he heard two rings and moved the roller. His left index finger was caught and smashed between two rollers as a result. Communication and training could have been better.
