Narrative

An employee was performing sheet pressing. The employee reached down to the right to get a sheet. The damp sheets were heavy and the employee placed his left arm on the lower presser. The employee reached to remove the cover from the bin to get a sheet when the unguarded switch was inadvertently activated causing the presser to actuate the upper press. The upper presser closed down on the employee's arm resulting in hospitalization with burns.
