Investigation Summary
At 11:45 a.m. on January 26, 2022, an employee was using a machine to cut the tops off seedlings at a client site of a farm labor contractor. The employee was mowing the plants by feeding trays containing the plants into a stationary mower via a conveyor belt when a tray got stuck. The employee lifted the guard to remove a struck tray which had caused the mower blade to stop. When the employee removed the tray, the blade started to rotate and amputated the employees fingers. The employee was hospitalized to treat amputations of his left middle and index fingers.
