Employee Lacerates Finger While Using Band Saw

On August 18, 2013, Employee #1, a meat cutter, was using a meat band saw to cut pork sirloin meat. As the employee was cutting, a bone got caught in the blade causing his finger to slip towards the moving point of contact. Employee #1's right pinky finger was lacerated and he reported to Proactive Clinic, where X-rays were taken and the wound was cleaned. The employee returned to the worksite and filled out paperwork and then went home. On August 22, 2013, Employee #1 went to Lee Orthopaedic Institute, where he was evaluated. On August 28, 2013, the employee received surgery and remained hospitalized.
