18-year-old Sylvia caught
her hand in an electric cabbage shredder at a fast food restaurant.
Her hand is permanently disfigured and she'll never have full use of it
again.
How could this have been prevented?
The employer must provide training on how to
operate the shredder.
Sylvia could have refused to operate the shredder
without training.
The employer might be able to put a guard on
the shredder.
The employer could purchase a safer machine
that cannot catch fingers.
