Luis’s Story
Luis works at a busy restaurant called “The Honey Pig.” The dining room
seats 180 people. He works at the preparation table cutting vegetables and meat all
day. He has to keep the cutting machine clean.

On Monday afternoon, Luis rushed into work from his morning job as a school
janitor. He had to prepare 10 orders of vegetable servings at once and found that
his co-worker from the day shift hadn’t cleaned the vegetable cutting machine. Luis
tried to quickly clean between the machine’s blades by reaching in with his bare
hands to pull out some remaining pieces of vegetables.

The machine was not unplugged, and because the turn-on button was very
sensitive, he accidentally turned it on. The machine shredded his three middle
fingers.
Question:
Give at least 2 causes of Luis’s injury. (5 PTS.)
