Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was cleaning a Benhill packaging machine that was used to make 8 oz blocks of cream cheese. In the process of scraping down the cheese hopper, she lifted the plastic guard and began removing the packages by hand. Her left index finger became caught and was partially amputated when the ram that raises packages for filling returned to the 'down' position.
