Abstract: At 2:000 p.m. on June 7, 2017, an employee was working in the meat department of a local grocery market, which he had worked for three years. After assisting customers at the meat department counter, the employee relieved a coworker who was cutting meat using a Hobart meat saw. As the employee used the saw to cut a rack of pork shoulders, his right hand contacted the saw blade, amputating his pinky and ring fingers. He was taken to a nearby medical facility, where he was hospitalized and underwent surgery to reattach the fingers.
