On June 5, 2023, an employee was provided an interlock bypass key that disabled the safety feature and avoided the shutdown of the machine to remove excess dough. As a result, an employee was exposed to energized machine components and sustained a fingertip amputation. This condition exposed employees to caught-in and amputation hazard.
