Used to work in a bagel shop. We have a big ass slicer, spinning blade you drop bagels into down a chute.
Every day we turn it off and wipe the chute. I wasn't thinking. Unplugged the machine, scooted it out, and began wiping down the chute inside, brushing down crumbs.
It's a fucking miracle my finger barely grazed the still spinning blade that hadn't come to a stop yet. Immediately recoiled my hand and just got a scratch from it, not that deep.
I was pissed at myself for not realizing the blade was still spinning. That shit could've been so much worse.
That sounds like a work hazard. Shouldn't there be a brake on the blade if the safety is broken?
Of course there should be, but my guess is things would get stuck there & jam the machine several times a day causing you to have to take the whole thing apart during the middle of the rush.
If you just take it off, you don't have to worry about that and no one is going to be dumb enough to not wait for it to stop...
Yeah every now and then a bagel would get stuck. We had this like plastic rod with a massive end so you could jam it down the shoot without ever hitting the blade.
It was really just me forgetting to be patient and wait. It takes like a good minute for the blade to come to a complete stop. Usually you can hear it whirring and know it's still spinning, but after working in there all day you kind of get used to the sound.
That forgetfulness is why OSHA rules exist. Probably should have had Lockout/Tag out on that machine
That's how experienced people get into accidents. Work fast and forget to think. It happens so often.
glad you got to keep your fingers ๐
