Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:30 a.m. on May 22, 1997, Employee #1 was working on a baler machine when it became jammed. Without turning off the power, he tried to pull out the jammed bale by holding a wire handle for a gallon can of paint with his bare right hand. The machine cycled, amputating the tip of his right index finger. Employee #1 was taken to Saint Joseph Clinic in Santa Ana for treatment.
