Investigation Summary
At 10:45 a.m. on July 11, 1994, Employee #1, of an olive canning and processing company, was working at the in-feed station of the olive canning casing machine. He was reaching into the can feed to upright a can when the pressure from the infeeding cans pushed his finger against a metal divider strip. His right middle finger was nearly amputated about 1/4 inch below the nail. The initial attending physician was going to complete the amputation, but a specialist sewed the finger together. The finger is reported to be working but is still missing the fingernail as of December 2, 1994. Employee #1 did not lock out the machine before he reached into the can line.
