Abstract: At 8:50 a.m. on January 31, 2017, a 51-year old male employed full-time since October 2002, was attempting to roll a piece of stock onto an unguarded electric roller (no manufacturer information available). The employee was wearing work gloves when he was sending the piece between the rollers. As the piece was going through the rollers, the left glove was caught between them. The roller was used for approximately 1-2 hours a month, rolling certain stock. The employer did not have written standard operating procedures for the roller. Instructions were not given on when or how to use the roller. There were no direct witnesses to the accident as this was the only piece of equipment in the area. The employee sustained injuries including, but not limited to: fractured finger tips, hand de-glove on the middle and ring finger, and an amputation injury on the pointer finger of the left hand. The employee was hospitalized.
