Narrative

On December 9, 2020, an employee was operating a printing press and was trying to tighten a cap bolt that holds the cylinders in place on the back side of the press near a sprocket wheel and chain. His shirt sleeve became caught in the nip point of the sprocket wheel and chain and his right forearm was pulled into the machine resulting in a laceration to the lower right forearm.
