Investigation Summary
At 6:30 p.m. on September 24, 2021, an employee working as a sheeting line operator for a commercial bakery was working on the blondie line. The dough was not filling the trays fully, either because the dough was getting stuck or the machine needed adjustments. Either way, the employee decided to clean the dough depositor head to get the product to flow properly. He put his hands underneath the depositor while the line was still running catching his right hand. The employee was hospitalized to treat an amputation to the distal phalanx of his middle finger.
