Investigation Summary
On June 22, 2009, Employee #1, a busboy with Benji's Restaurant, was cleaning a Globe Slicing Machine (Model Number 685, Serial Number 690357). He had turned the machine off, removed the base (which holds the meat while slicing), donned a protective plastic right glove, and cleaned the blade using a towel. To remove one remaining piece of cheese on the blade, he removed the glove, turned on the slicer, and used a towel to clean the blade. When the towel became caught in the blade, his right index finger was pulled into the blade. Employee #1 was hospitalized for an amputation of the finger tip.
