Abstract: At 7:50 p.m. on February 22, 2021, an employee had his right hand caught in-between two inadequately guarded rotating grinding wheels of a custom-built, portable/movable grinder, commonly referred to as a panning grinder. The employee suffered a right index finger amputation and right middle finger crushing injury, when his hand went through the loose elements (horizontal bars) of the guard (grate) due to downward motion of his hand to feed large cannoli pieces into the point-of-operation. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
