Final narrative
An employee had been unloading cheese from a blender. The employee was holding two buttons used to control the cheese blender paddles/manually jog the equipment. The employee let go of the buttons and went to grab a piece of cheese that was stuck in the blender. There was a 4-second delay after letting go of the buttons before the paddles completely stopped moving. The employee's hand contacted the still moving paddles. The employee sustained an amputation to the corner of the left pinky fingertip and a laceration on the pad of the left pinky finger.
