## Narrative

An employee was operating a machine that applies coating to metal sheets used in the manufacture of steel pails. The employee attempted to clean the rear of a catch tray with a wiping rag. The rag entered a gap between the tray and the composite roller and became caught in an in-running nip point between two rollers. The employee's right hand was pulled into the rollers, resulting in a crushing injury. The machine was in motion at the time of the incident.
