Employee's Foot Is Lacerated by Lettuce Machine

At 6:15 a.m. on October 3, 2010, Employee #1, a 26-year-old noncontract laborer employed by a farming operation, was cleaning a lettuce machine in a field. Employee #1 used his foot to push back the "cover bar" on the machine, which was not in the "off" position. The blade, which was still moving, cut through Employee #1's boot and seriously lacerated his foot. Employee #1 was taken to a Salinas Valley Medical facility, where he was hospitalized for 24 hours and had surgery. The Employer reported the accident at 8:00 a.m. on October 4, 2010.
