Investigation Summary
At approximately 6:50 a.m. on August 6, 1996, Employee #1 was using a bandsaw to cut frozen rolled turkey. As he was slicing it, the product rolled. Four fingers on his right hand were lacerated when they struck against the saw blade. Employee #1 was taken to Northridge Hospital and released after treatment and observation. He was put on light/limited duty, as per the store manager. During an interview, the meat manager explained that a better way to slice meat was to first cut the turkey roll in half so that the product cannot not roll around. The employer was issued a general citation an improper slicing operation.
