Abstract: At approximately 5:40 p.m. on October 5, 2001, Employee #1, a pressman for a printing shop, was operating an offset type of press to print business forms. While applying a wetting agent onto a moving press roller with a hand-held sponge, his right hand was pulled into the press interior area. He was using the machine jog-button to maintain roller movement for this task. A coworker helped free his hand. Fire Department Paramedics responded and transported him to Valley Presbyterian Hospital, where he was examined and released with no apparent injury.
