At 8:00 p.m. on Friday, November 23, 2018, an employee was working at a supermar ket. He was working in the meat cutting department, behind the meat counter. He was a direct employee of the store. The store or firm had a meat manager, who wa s the employee's supervisor. There were two dispatchers working at the meat coun ter in front. The employee was working alone in the meat cutting department, in the back of the meat counter. The employee was working the evening shift instead of his usual day shift. This incident occurred on his fourth time cleaning the meat cutting machines. The employee was cleaning a Hobart Model Number 6801 meat cutting band saw. It operated at 3,450 rpm.
