Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:30 p.m. on July 24, 2000, Employee #1 was operating a Weiler meat grinder, model 1612D, serial # 92132. He turned off the machine to clear pieces of shredded meat that had become jammed at the discharge end when his left middle finger struck against the still-rotating blade and was amputated. Employee #1 was transported to Riverside Community Hospital, where he was treated and released. The free rotation of the blade had not stopped completely after Employee #1 de-energized the machine.
