The corrugator single-facer stopped because of the web breaking. He inserted the web into the double-facer leaving it energized and running at 200 feet per minute. As he inserted the web, his gloved right hand was caught in the nip point between the double-facer tail pulley and hot plate section of the gluer. The method he used to insert the web was the standard operating procedure of his company. Employee #1 suffered severe burns and degloving injuries to his right hand.
