Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:00 p.m. on February 27, 2012, Employee #1, a 49-yr-old male, of a spice packaging company was mixing product contents in a ribbon blender machine. The injured worker was a 10-yr veteran employee with six years in his present job. As he was mixing a blend of spices and vegetables to form a seasoning the company sells, the employee reached into the product flowing from the blender to remove debris from the unguarded slide gate. His right hand was caught by the machine's rotating blades resulting in severe lacerations and avulsions to his right hand. At the hospital, surgeons amputated parts of his fingers.
