Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:00 a.m. on June 4, 1995, Employee #1, of Land o' Lakes Dairy, was performing routine sanitation cleanup of the cheese tower block forming machine (Stoelting block formers; Wincanton towers). This machine takes curds and forms 40 lb blocks using a vacuum to compress the cheese and an air operated guillotine to cut it into blocks. Employee #1 did not lock out the air and electricity before reaching into the guillotine area to retrieve a piece of cheese. The machine cycled while his hand was inside, amputating the tip of his left index finger just below the base of the nail.
