Abstract: At approximately 12:00 p.m. on August 18, 2006, Employee #1, of Bolthouse Farms Inc., was using a grinder to sharpen the blades of a carrot cutter, when he brushed up against a blade. He suffered a laceration to his hand and was hospitalized. Further investigation revealed that the employee was using a leather glove instead of a metal glove provided by the employer. He didn't wear the metal glove because the metal shavings fell into the glove when he was grinding.
