Abstract: At 1:00 p.m. on May 7, 2019, a coworker was training an employee on how to use of a 5-step depositor (bakery equipment). The coworker did not load a pan in the machine and told the employee to look under the machine to observe where dough comes out of the machine. The coworker then actuated the machine via a foot pedal closing a cylinder while the employee had her left hand in the point of operation causing an amputation of the employee's finger tip pad. The employee was not hospitalized.
