CASE STUDY – AMPUTATION IN MEAT GRINDER

A 15-year-old part-time worker (the victim) at a retail grocery store
suffered amputation of the right arm as a result of being caught by the
auger of a meat grinder while he was reassembling it.
The victim, working after school, had completed washing and cleaning
the disassembled parts of the grinder and was reassembling it without
de-energizing and locking out the machine's power supply (See Photos
Below). He inserted the auger into the grinder's housing and reached
through the feed-throat with his right hand to guide it into
engagement. As he did so, he bumped against the unprotected on/off
lever switch mounted about waist high on the machine's side.
The grinder started and the auger pulled his hand and arm into the
housing. He turned the machine off, pulled his arm from the grinder
housing and ran toward the front of the store. The store manager
applied pressure to his bleeding arm while a coworker called 911. The
victim was transported to a local hospital. His right arm had been
amputated just below the elbow. A magnetic safety switch mounted on
top of the motor starter was designed to prevent operation when the
Removable Tub
was taken off. The safety switch had not worked for over 16 years and
employees were not aware that the safety switch existed. (Source:
