Employee's Finger Is Amputated in Screw Conveyor

On September 2, 2004, Employee #1, a maintenance electrician, and a coworker, the lead maintenance mechanic, were repairing a powder dispensing screw conveyor on a cheese shredding machine. Initial examination of the shredder showed that the powder dispensing tube was misaligned. The lead mechanic stood by the power control panel, while Employee #1 aligned the dust dispensing tube with the screw conveyor still energized. As the coworker rotated the tube, the screw caught Employee #1's left ring finger through one of the powder outlet slots of the tube. Employee #1 required hospitalization and surgical amputation of his left ring finger.
