Abstract: At approximately 9:00 a.m. on January 21, 2017, Employee #1 and a coworker were performing preventative maintenance on a printing press. A cover was removed from one of the printing towers on the 105 KBA printing press while it was in the idle mode. During this mode there was a belt that continued to run within the six printing towers. While the coworker was making an adjustment to a non-moving part Employee #1 noticed a glob of grease on a moving pulley and used his rag and tried to clean it up. The rag and Employee #1's finger were pulled into the belt and pulley pinch point. Employee #1's left index fingertip was amputated. Employee #1 was not hospitalized.
