Narrative

On June 5, 2015, at approximately 11:45 a.m., an employee was working with blenders that are used to grind meat. An opening on the bottom of the grinder allows ground meat to fall into a buggy. The employee reached to remove a small portion of meat and his left hand made contact with an energized, rotating auger.
