Narrative

An employee was cleaning a roll coater machine while it was on the cleaning cycle. While she was wiping the rollers with a rag, the cleaning cycle reversed, causing the rollers to reverse. The rag was then caught in the ingoing nip point, pulling her right index finger into the machine. Her fingertip was amputated.
