The cylindrical frame members were also at different heights above the floor and spanned the width of the press which was approx.. 53 in. The top of the member closest to the chill section was 7 in. above the floor and the top of the member closest to the unwind section was 16 in. above the floor. A serrated splice blade, the top of which was approx. 53 in. above the floor was in the unwind section, and ran parallel to the cylindrical frame members for the width of the press. In the process of re-webbing the press, the employee stood with one foot on the low cylindrical frame member, and his other foot on the higher cylindrical frame member. The employee slipped and fell onto the exposed serrated splice blade suffering a severe laceration to the right side of his back. NO ABATEMENT CERTIFICATION REQUIRED
