Final narrative
An employee was operating a rubber roller grinder and had just completed the grinding process. He changed the rotation of the spindle to the clockwise position and began to clean rubber dust off the rollers with a shop rag. The rag caught on the roller and pulled his hand into the grinding wheel, resulting in a broken wrist, broken fingers, and lacerations to the hand and fingers. He was hospitalized.
