Abstract: At 10:00 a.m. on February 25, 2022, four individuals were moving an ice cream machine from the back of the building into the ice cream production room. The room was cleared of obstacles and the door was removed to create a clear path for the machine to go through the door. Employee #1 was assisting in moving the machine, and he was using a pallet jack to maneuver the machine. Once the machine was almost in the room, Employee #1 was placing cardboard material on the floor so that the floor would not get damaged. While Employee #1 was placing the cardboard on the floor, the tip of his index finger was caught between the floor and the ice cream machine. The employer transferred Employee #1 to Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno. Employee #1 was treated and released on the same day. Employee #1 lost the tip of his right index finger.
