Abstract: At approximately 7:40 a.m. on December 21, 2009, Employee #1, a coating operator, was cleaning a mark on the 15 in. composition roller (width 44 in.) on the Wagner Model A Spot Coater (Serial Number 63694-A). Employee #1 used a rag and thinner. He allowed the roller to remain rotating at full speed, so that he could clean a mark that circled the entire roller. The composition roller caught his right hand and pinned it between the roller and the machine frame. Employee #1 experienced a partial degloving and was hospitalized for five days, while undergoing multiple surgeries.
