EMPLOYEE'S FOREARMS AMPUTATED WHEN CAUGHT IN CALENDER

On March 9, 1998, Employee #1 was attempting to feed liner canvass through bite of a lower calender roll, while the calender was in operation. Employee's arms were pulled into the calender and crushed below the elbow. Employee #1 was taken to shock trauma where the arms below the elbow were amputated. According to the employer's statement, Employee #1 apparently failed to turn off the calender before feeding the canvas into the machine. That resulted in pulling Employee #1's arms into the machine.
