Abstract: On July 18, 2009, Employee #1 was working in a vineyard and was assigned to spray sulfur powder on the grape vines. The sulfur blower intake kept getting clogged with branches and leaves. Employee #1 would have to stop the tractor and clear the blower. On the last pass Employee #1 got in a hurry and did not stop the machine before he cleared out the blower. As Employee #1 was removing the branches and leaves, his left hand was pulled into the machine, and he sustained a serious injury to his left hand. The original report lists the injury as an amputation and lists Employee #1 as being hospitalized.
