Abstract: Employee #1, age 19, was operating a commercial meat slicer during a very busy lunchtime rush. In the process of pulling turkey out of the slicer so she could put in cheese, Employee #1 sliced her right index finger. The injury did not require hospitalization, but seven stitches were needed to close the wound. The fingernail and bone were not damaged. Employee #1 said the accident "just happened," and attributed it to the frenetic work pace and the pressure to work faster.
