Abstract: On February 9, 3013, Employee #1 was operating a plaster mixer making batches of plaster to spray onto a new swimming pool that was under construction. The employee was attempting to retrieve a piece of paper that had fallen into the mixer. As employee #1 reached his right hand into the operating mixer tank, his hand was struck by the mixing paddles ultimately amputating the right index, middle, and ring fingers at varying levels. A coworker called Emergency Rescue Service. Employee #1 was transported via ambulance to an area hospital, where attempts were made to save the fingers. Ultimately three fingers were surgically amputated. The employee remained hospitalized.
