Stop in for a cup of coffee

Sorry to hear. Was just talking to one of our press operators about this the other night. Not a big amputation risk, but printing presses are just loaded with nip points. Rollers will easily pull in anything that gets in and it never ends well. I frequently make up guards for any possible place we can put one or replace any that are not 100%.

For years and years I guarded for "incidental contact". Then FedOSHA and MSHA have this revelation that "some" people disregard the safety guards and reach into places they really shouldn't reach into, many times the guards becoming an additional hazard :BangHead:. A simple little guard for a 4"x30" roller becomes an 8'x 3' monstrosity so an arm can't get to a pinch point :BangHead:. I had a take off my glove to see if my fingers were still attached incident, completely surprised me and the machine operator. The ride to the ER with my boss driving was the really scarey part :lol:.
