Meat Cutter's Finger Is Amputated by Saw

At 3:00 p.m. on November 20, 2008 Employee #1, a meat cutter manager with Ralphs Grocery Company, was slicing a sirloin roast with a meat-cutting band saw (Butcher Boy Model Number B-16F, Serial Number 6-18400). He was not using the push plate guide designed to protect user's hands because it was corroded, dirty and out of service. Employee #1's right index finger was partially amputated. The fingertip was reattached at Western Hand Center.
