Investigation Summary
At 1:30 p.m. on October 17, 2018, Employee #1 was assisting to unload a bad batch of mixed powder supplement from a Toronto Company Ribbon Blender/ Mixer into trash bags. Employee #1 had asked a coworker, the Blender who was operating the ribbon blender, if he needed help. The coworker had Employee #1 hold trash bags under the opening of the blender while another coworker turned on the machine, which would empty mixed powder into the trash bag. A bin, typically used to catch product was not used since the ingredients were wrong. Employee #1 had filled two trash bags and was in the process of filling a third. Employee #1 reached into the ribbon blender outlet port and amputated several fingers and fractured one finger. The employee was hospitalized to treat the fingers.
