Abstract: At 6:52 p.m. on November 13, 2009, Employee #1 was feeding dough into a noodle machine. The dough was larger than usual and his hand became entangled in the machine. The employer summoned emergency responders. Prior to their arrival, Employee #1's hand was removed from the machine. Employee #1 was treated at Stanford Hospital Emergency Room for a laceration of his right middle finger. A coworker was in the same area but did not witness the accident. Employee #1 indicated that he had been trained on the operation and use of the machine by the employer and that he had used a similar machine at another Chinese restaurant; however, he had not been paying full attention to the task at the time of the accident. Employee #1 was also aware that instructions and caution signs on the machine warned users of the potential hazards associated with the use of the machine.
