Abstract: At 9:30 a.m. on January 7, 2022, an employee was cutting and packaging fruits on the Allergen line at a fruit packaging company. The employee was a temporary employee who worked for a staffing firm. The employee and a coworker were setting up a Prosealer machine which dispenses plastic film to cover the fruit. The employee failed to preform lockout/tagout procedures before reaching into the machine. The blade which cuts the plastic film cycled and struck the employee's finger. The employee lacerated his finger and potentially amputated the fingertip, requiring medical treatment without hospitalization.
