Investigation Summary
At 11:20 p.m. on January 31, 2022, an employee who was wearing vinyl gloves was using both hands to apply pressure against a handle. The handle pushes frozen cake chunks down a chute and towards the face of a rotating shredding disk. The employee raised the pusher and looked down into the chute where she saw pieces of cake at the bottom that were not pushed into the shredder. The employee proceeded to use the back of her left hand to push the frozen cake into the rotating shredder. The employee's finger was pulled into a nip point by the rotating disk amputating her middle finger to the second knuckle and requiring hospitalization.
