Investigation Summary
At 11:30 a.m. on February 9, 2015, an employee as part of his routine job task was operating a J. H. Day ribbon blender; Serial # 83847 colloquially known as "Industrial ribbon blender". His specific task was to close the discharge lever upon collection of required amount of blended ingredients in a container which required the agitator to be rotating. While closing the discharge lever, the employee placed his left hand into the opening with a 6 inch diameter opening. His fingers made contact with the revolving/rotating stainless steel agitators/blades discharge outlet of the Ribbon Day blender/mixer and thus sustained partial amputation of three fingers. The employee was admitted to a medical center on February 9, 2015, treated, and later released on February 19, 2015.
