Investigation Summary
At 1:15 a.m. on February 1, 2021, Employee #1 was hand-feeding chunks of beef into a grinder to produce cubed steak. Instead of using the push block provided, the employee used their hand to push the meat into the grinder's teeth. During the process, the employee's right middle finger was caught by the grinder's teeth, resulting in a partial amputation of the fingertip. Emergency services transported the employee to the hospital, where he was admitted for treatment.
