Narrative

An employee was cleaning an anilox roller on a printing press when his rag became caught in the rollers. The employee let go of the rag and took a step back, slipped on ink, and fell into the railing bar in front of the anilox roller. The roller bounced up and the employee's hand became caught underneath it as he fell. The employee sustained sustained amputations to the nail beds of two fingers and required stitches to his hand.
