On Monday June 29, 2015, at approximately 10:30 p.m., two maintenance employees were servicing a FLEXO press no. 9 in the FLEXO department. The FLEXO press no. 9 feeds bags for in-printing on the roller. The employee was tightening the driver side chain on the press and then proceeded to check the tension with his right hand to see if it was tight enough. The employee's right hand index finger became caught in the chain and sprocket pinch point resulting in a fracture injury. It is unknown at this time if the sprocket was operating or was manually moved by the injured employee.
