Investigation Summary
On December 11, 2012, Employee #1 was using a pump to transfer cooked corn from cooking tanks to corn soaking storage tanks. He disconnected the hose that ran from the cook tank to the corn transfer pump at the pump's in-feed location. Employee #1 then used his fingers to wipe away residual from within the interior of the pump's in-take manifold. The electric motor used to drive the pump was still energized and the pump was operating. Further, there were no attempts made to deenergize or lock out the motor prior to cleaning the pump. As Employee removed the residual from within the pump, the rotating parts of the pump caught his right index finger and amputated it at the distal joint. Employee #1 was transported to a nearby medical center, where he underwent medical treatment and was then hospitalized.
