Abstract: On July 4, 2005, Employee #1 was an employee of a restaurant in Ft. Bragg, CA. He was using a centrifugal chiller to make ice for a seafood display case. For some reason, his hand and then his arm became entangled in the rotating, unguarded ice maker; there were no witnesses. He could not reach the shutoff switch, which was some 25 feet away, so he called to a person standing nearby to shut the machine off. He was hospitalized. Employee #1 sustained tendon damage and a fractured wrist. He required pins to secure bone pieces, and he had skin grafts on his forearm. Several operations were required.
