Employee's fingertips amputated in laminating machine

On January 27, 1997, Employee #1, a patcher with Remo, Inc., of Valencia, CA., was cleaning the rolls of a laminating machine. As she was cleaning, her body came in contact with the machine's control bar, causing the laminator to engage.

The machine had not been locked out, blocked out, or de-energized.
