Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:56 a.m. on May 6, 2009, Employee #1, an assembly line worker, was placing portioned food product into plates. Employee #1 was working within close proximity to a heat sealer machine, which seals the food plate with a plastic film. She was trying to remove a piece of broccoli that fell to the side of the conveyor inside of the heat sealer machine. She used her left index finger to remove the broccoli from the metal-plate ledge adjacent to the conveyor. Employee #1 had reached in approximately 5.5 in., and her finger got caught at the pinch point created by the unguarded chain and sprocket. Employee #1's left ringer fingertip was amputated, and she was hospitalized.
