Abstract: Employee #1 was cleaning a divider that had an access door. The window was missing in the access door. The access door was equipped with a limit switch to cut off the power when the door was open. Employee #1 reached through the window opening without opening the door to retrieve a piece of dough. He caught his fingernail and shifted his position, leaned against the machine's START button, and inadvertently activated the machine. The machine amputated a portion of Employee #1's left middle finger.
