Investigation Summary
At 7:00 p.m. on March 16, 2021, Employee #1, a temporary staffing worker assigned to Cutwater Spirits, LLC, was operating a Single Lane Pop Machine at the production department. The machine automatically dispenses, cuts, and seals freezer pops. Employee #1 reached into the machine to collect freezer pops before they fell out of the machine. While doing so, the employee's left index finger was lacerated, and the tip of the left thumb was amputated by the machine's serrated blade and closing jaws. There was no machine guarding in place to prevent access to the cutting area. The employee was hospitalized and required hand surgery for the injuries. The employer was cited for violations, including failure to report the incident on time and insufficient machine guarding.
