Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:15 p.m. on August 15, 1994, Employee #1 was working on a 1990 Johnson tomato harvester, serial #89017. He was sorting dirt, debris, and small tomatoes from a cross conveyor belt when he reached into the off-feed end of the belt to remove mud buildup. His left middle and ring fingers were caught and pinched between the end-feed conveyor and metal ramp. The middle fingertip was amputated with 1/4 inch of bone and the ring finger had only flesh removed. Employee #1 did not use the extension scratcher tool designed for the job.
