Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was tenderizing meat by hand-feeding 3 in. square cubes of pork into a Sir Steak Tenderizer, model PRO-9 B type, serial #00063665. The machine, which was approximately 18 in. tall without the guard, was sitting on a 3 ft high table. Employee #1 was standing directly in front of the machine, feeding in the cubed meat, when his right ring finger became caught in the in-running roller of blades and was amputated. The causal factor of this accident was insufficient guarding at the point of operation. Employee #1 was an experienced worker for the food retailer and he took on supervisory duties whenever the section manager was not present.
