Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:50 p.m. on May 25, 2004, an employee working at FJ Food Service, a meat processing and packaging company, checked the air current of a cooling fan on the top of the bacon conveyor line located in the Packaging Department. The employee was seriously injured. He amputated his right, middle and ring fingers when he accidentally contacted the fan blades. An investigation revealed that the employee did not notice his right hand was too close to the cooling fan. The fan had a fan guard installed, but the openings of the fan guard were either bent or otherwise large enough to allow the employee's fingers to pass through the guard's openings. The employee was hospitalized for initial medical treatment and then transferred to Western Hand Center for further medical treatment
