Investigation Summary
At 8:00 p.m. on July 3, 2003, Employee #1 was working on the Hydro-Vac cooling line system. He decided to return some celery boxes on the platform back to the produce cooler. As he mounted the platform, while holding the control device in his left hand, Employee #1 slipped and fell, simultaneously hitting the start button. Employee #1's right index finger was thrust into the locking mechanism, which slammed shut, amputating the first joint of the finger.
