Abstract: On May 6, 2005, Employee #1, who worked for Diana's Mexican Food Products Inc., was stationed at the Quad Tortilla machine. At the end of his shift, he was instructed by his supervisor to clean the mesa feeder and mixing blades. Employee #1 proceeded to climb up the side of the Quad Tortilla machine to perform the cleaning. As he was using his hands to clean the equipment, the action of the rotating blades pulled his right hand into the feeder, where his right hand and arm were crushed. He was hospitalized for treatment.
