7 July 2020
Oriental Cuisine Limited has been ordered to pay the man 40 thousand dollars after he sustained fractures and de-gloved fingers in July 2018.
A WorkSafe investigation found before the incident was reported, the pastry roller was cleaned with an air gun,then continued to be used.
In a similar case last week, a Napier meat processor was fined after a worker caught her hand in a machine's chain.
WorkSafe's Chief Inspector Steve Kelly says there are too many workers whose safety is compromised by having to operate unguarded machinery.
