Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170609341

Event: 07/18/1994

Employee crushes fingers in dough roller

Employee #1, of Bakers Best Frozen Commodities, had been assigned to place pie dough on a conveyor belt that was about 10 in. wide and moved very slowly toward a roller that made the dough a uniform thickness. Investigation indicates that when the conveyor became empty, the employee began stuffing dough manually onto the roller so the dough would reach the wheel faster. At one point, he reached too far into the pinch point and caught and crushed his fingers. The shut-off for the machine was out of his reach and he had to wait for someone else to stop the machine.
