Investigation Summary
On April 17, 2008, Employee #1 was working in a meat packing plant. She was assigned to the "knife wizard" in the "cut floor" department. It was reported that Employee #1 was walking by the "belly press" and observed a piece of meat on it. The belly press was made by Millard Manufacturing (Serial Number: 94875-001). No model number was available. Employee #1 was given Lockout Tagout (LOTO) training six days prior to the amputation. Employee #1 reached in with the meat hook and attempted to remove it. The meat hook became caught and pulled Employee #1's hand into the belly press. This caused an amputation of the tip of the index finger and crushed the tip of the middle finger of the right hand. Employee #1 was taken to a doctor that specializes in hand reconstruction.
