Employee's fingers amputated in meat grinder

The employer admitted that the meat pan being used had a very large throat opening, wide enough for a hand to be exposed to the worm gear. After the accident, the meat pan was replaced by a smaller one. The employer was cited for a serious violation of T8CCR 342 (a), and a general violation of T8CCR 4552 (a).
