Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170159065
Event: 06/20/1994
Employee's hand amputated while adjusting hamburger machine

Employee #1, of a meat packing plant, was cleaning the vacuum bar on a Formax #26 automatic hamburger patty making machine in the middle of a production period. His hand was between a moveable mold plate and a stationary piece of the machine. A coworker, who was also making adjustments on the machine, engaged the power while Employee #1 still had his hand inside the machine. Although safety interlocks should have kept the machine from operating, they failed and the machine engaged. A mold plate amputated Employee #1's right hand at the wrist.
