Investigation Summary
At 11:45 a.m. on December 9, 2002, Employee #1, a meat clerk, was cutting pork ribs in the butcher shop that was located at the rear of the facility behind the fresh and packaged meat counters. He used a Butcher Boy, Model B-16, Serial Number 6-16453, meat band saw that was equipped with a side-mounted sliding table and an adjustable guard. Employee #1 adjusted the guard prior to cutting the ribs. Meat was placed on the sliding table and moved from the right to the left. Employee #1 did not use the table but he stood in front of the Butcher Boy and used his hands to push the meat directly into the vertical blade. A skin on the ribs got caught in the saw guides and pulled the ribs downward. Employee #1 was cutting on an angle and the blade caught his right thumb. He sustained a complete amputation, to the first knuckle, of his right thumb. Employee #1 was hospitalized and the surgeons attempted to re-attach the appendage, but they were unsuccessful.
