Investigation Summary
On October 7, 2004, Employee #1, a butcher at a meat packing company, was cleaning a bacon-slicing machine after the day's production. He failed to turn off the machine. When Employee #1 reached in to remove meat residue, the rotating sprocket and chain caught his left fingers. He was hospitalized for amputations. The accident investigation determined that the employer has written lockout/tagout procedures, and that the sprocket and chain remained unguarded for convenience while cleaning.
