Investigation Summary
At 8:30 p.m. on April 14, 2018, an employee was being trained on how to operate the spiral wrapping machine and was getting ready to unload the bread. The employee placed his hand on the applicator instead of using the attached handle and was trying to rotate the wheel to get it into the unload position. The employee stepped on the foot pedal and started the machine, lacerating his left hand's middle finger. The employee later had the finger surgically amputated. The employee was hospitalized.
