Employee Amputates Finger in Blender

On May 21, 2008, Employee #1 and a coworker were unloading product from a blender. The coworker operated the turn "on" and "off" controls, which required both hands to press the two separate control buttons that reversed the rotate of the ribbon for unloading. The coworker was on an elevated platform, where the controls were located. Employee #1 was on the floor level where he opened the door and moved a tote into position to catch the released product. Additionally, Employee #1 was directing the coworker about whether the ribbon was moving or not. When the ribbon was not rotating, Employee #1 reached into the machine to pull the material out. The supervisor directed the coworker to go back to his machine and to continue operating his machine and the coworker then turned on the ribbon, which began to rotate and unload the blender. Employee #1's finger was caught in a pinch point between the end of the ribbon and the door opening of the blender, sustaining a partial finger amputation. He was transported to a medical center, where he received treatment and was hospitalized.
