Employee's finger amputated by machine blade

Employee #1 was hosing vegetable particles out of a vegetable processing machine called an Urschel size reducer. The machine is left running while it is being cleaned and the guards are flipped up, out of place.

The tips of the third and fourth fingers on his right hand were amputated. The employer had no lockout/tagout program.
