Investigation Summary
At 10:55 a.m. on February 25, 1991, Employee #1, a nut blancher operator, was using his right hand to move a full barrel of loose almond skins. This movement caused the machine's guard to swing out of position and exposed a hazard point approximately 27 in. above the working surface. Employee #1 suddenly slipped and fell. In an attempt to stabilize himself, he instinctively put out his left hand. It entered the hazard point and his four fingers were amputated. Employee #1 was taken to U. C. Davis Medical Center for treatment.
