Employee's fingertip amputated in food grinder

At 8:07 a.m. on November 20, 1993, Employee #1 was feeding meat into a small worm-type power-driven food grinder with his bare right hand. Apparently, he was distracted by a customer, and his fingers went too far into the grinder. The tip of his right middle finger was amputated. Paramedics took Employee #1 to St. Francis Medical Center for treatment. The grinder was not equipped with guards or safety devices. The employer was cited for a serious violation of T8CCR4552(a).
