Abstract: At 12:40 p.m. on January 10, 2018, Employee #1 was using a hook to pull a carcass with his left hand in order to cut and trim it. As he pulled the carcass towards him, the skin ripped and the left arm of the carcass swung towards the employee's right hand where he was holding a knife. As a result, the knife contacted Employee #1's left forearm and caused a puncture wound that struck an artery. Employee #1 was hospitalized for his injury.
