Employee's finger amputated by band saw blade

At 9:00 a.m. on February 28, 1992, Employee #1 was cutting a 12 in. by 9 in. by 3 in. thick package of pork rib chops into 8 equal pieces as required by a customer. Employee #1's left index finger was amputated by the band saw. She was taken to Long Beach Memorial Medical Center in Long Beach for emergency treatment. Employee #1 had been employed with this company since July 16, 1990, as a meat clerk and had been trained by the employer in the use of band saw, slicers, and other equipment in the meat department. Employee #1 does not know how she contacted the blade. The band saw was found equipped with an adjusted guard as required by 8CCR regulations and was adjusted to a height of about 4 1/2 in. No safety orders of T8CCR seem to have been violated relating to this accident.
