Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:35 p.m. on September 23, 2007, Employee #1 was attempting to remove a dough ball that got stuck in the cone of the pre-press section of the flour Mega Line, at a tortilla manufacturing facility. Employee #1 had turned off the rear section of the machine, but the front section, where the pre-press was located, continued to operate. The pre-press was guarded by an interlocked access door. Employee #1 obtained a ladder and opened the interlocked door, with the understanding that the front section of the Mega Line would stop. Employee #1 reached through the open access door to remove the dough ball from the cone. The pre-press cylinders cycled one more time, amputating Employee #1's right middle finger. Employee #1 was taken to Methodist Hospital of Sacramento in Sacramento, CA.
