Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was operating the almond sliver machine when it jammed with product at the roller. Employee #1 turned off the machine, raised the clear guard and reached in with a wire to clear the jam. Employee #1 turned on the machine again. Employee #1 was reaching across the body to reach the control on the right. Employee #1's right hand held the wire.
