Narrative

On August 25, 2025, a machine operator was working on the heat-set end of a textile bleach/prep range machine. He was running leader cloth and it was bunching up. He climbed a catwalk so he could reach the cloth and flatten it out. His right hand was caught in a nip roll while adjusting the cloth. The employee's middle and ring fingertips were amputated.
