Final narrative
An employee was cleaning a ribbon blender. He had the lid open, thus disengaging the interlock switch and disabling the rotating paddles. After he finished cleaning it, he closed the lid. The blender has a discharge hole at the bottom; unaware that the paddles in the blender were still rotating at a slow rate, the employee reached up through the discharge hole. The paddle amputated the tip of his index finger.
