Abstract: At approximately 4:45 p.m. on May 23, 2001, an employee was feeding sheet metal into unguarded metal-forming rollers on a Lockformer, while making slides for the vertical joints on sheet metal ducts. He was wearing a blue cloth glove on his right hand which had a rubber coating on the palm side to protect his hand from the sheet metal edges. The blue cloth glove caught in the ingoing nip point between the metal rollers, pulling his right hand into the rollers. He was hospitalized with an injury to the tissue between the thumb and index finger.
