Abstract: At approximately 7:45 a.m. on August 27, 1996, Employee #1, of Blake Printing and Publishing, was trying to retrieve an Allen wrench that he had accidentally dropped into a machine. He turned off both the power and the air pressure supply, but the machine still had enough air pressure for one cycle stored in its tank. Employee #1 was reaching up into the underside of the machine where the wrench had been dropped when he inadvertently hit a switch that tripped the shuttle bar from the stored air pressure. One of the machine's 1/4 in. diameter rods punctured his right ring finger.
