Investigation Summary
Employee #1 reached into a meat processor machine to take a product's temperature as it fed into a processing vessel. When he reached into the vessel, a rotating scraper blade contacted his wrist and subsequently amputated his hand above the wrist. The machine was operating in a manual override mode with the guarding covers open. All other safety devices had been bypassed. A shear point was created between the rotating blade and the lid of the vessel as the blade rotated.
