Employee injures arm when caught between roller and steel ba

At 3:30 a.m. on December 4, 2019, an employee was cleaning up casing from under the machine, PM 7/Wet End. When the employee reached to knock the casing off the guard, the employee's right hand became entangled in the casing, which was then grabbed by the bull wheel as it rotated. This pulled the casing along with the employee's right hand and arm up into a pinch point between the rotating bull wheel and steel bar/framework of the machine. The employee was transported to and admitted to the hospital to treat bruises, removal of a tendon, and a skin graft.
