Narrative

An employee was tightening the east side of a slitter after a job change and checked to see if the mat was being cut properly. As he was checking, his glove was caught and his fingers were pulled into the compaction roller, de-gloving his left middle, ring, and pinky fingers and resulting in amputation.
