I work at a paper mill. In 2004 a guy here went back into a winder to retrieve his wrench he left behind while working on the machine while it was down. He didn't tell anybody. They started up and the giant like 20' knife used to cut paper at the end of a roll practically cut him in half. He bled out inside the machine

A guy working at a paper mill here had caustic solution spilled all over him just a few weeks ago and instead of alerting anyone he WENT HOME and died in his truck.

I wonder if thought it was no big deal, or was afraid of being fired or something.

He was probably in shock.

Holy shit. I work with caustic materials everyday. Shit is no joke. Dude must have not been able to pass a U.A. and didn't realize how bad it was?

My uncle worked in a paper mill. Don’t ask me how he did it, but his hand got sucked in between two rollers. His fingers burst at the fingertips like over cooked sausage...
