Employee Injures Hand While Operating Band Saw

On August 10, 2005, Employee #1 was using a band saw machine to cut a frozen block of bull meat that measured 21 inches by 8 inches by 5 inches into pieces that measured approximately 8 inches by 2 inches by 2 inches.

Employee #1 was hospitalized and treated for his injury. The accident investigation revealed that the band saw was properly guarded and training had been administered.
