Employee's Fingers Amputated By Meat Band Saw

At approximately 9:00 a.m. on May 13, 2000, Employee #1, a day-shift meat cutter at a grocery store, was using a Butcher Boy meat band saw Model B-16F, Serial Number 6-22010, to cut a five-pound piece of seven-bone steak into three pieces at the request of a customer. The meat band saw had guards in place, and the use of gloves would have posed an entanglement hazard. Employee #1 was making the second cut when the piece of meat slipped and his left hand contacted the moving blade. Employee #1 sustained a 1 cm soft tissue laceration to his third finger and amputated the last digit of his fourth and fifth fingers. Employee #1 was treated for his injuries but was not hospitalized.
