Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:10 a.m. on Friday, June 7, 1996, Employee #1 was using a meat slicer to slice boneless turkey breast, a meat that was round in shape rather than flat like other meats. As she was working, the meat shifted position. Employee #1 was trying to reposition the turkey when her arm nudged the machine's handle, causing the slicer blade to move and sever between 1 and 1 1/2 in. from the top of her right index finger. Her finger was bandaged and she was taken to a medical clinic for suturing, including a tissue transplant from her arm to the finger. Employee #1 had not turned off the power to the slicer before repositioning the meat.
