ANAHEIM, CA (May 27, 2020) – A woman sustained injuries in a workplace accident on Lincoln Avenue in Anaheim on May 19.
 
According to Anaheim Police Sgt. Shane Carringer, a Pupuseria Comalapa #2 employee was putting a product in a grinder when her right hand was caught in the machine at around 6:00 p.m. on 1781 W. Lincoln Avenue.
 
The coworkers instantly shut down the machine after discovering what just happened.
 
“They had to give her some medication when they got there because she was obviously in a lot of pain,” Carringer added.
 
The Anaheim Fire & Rescue unbolted a part of the processor so they could free her hand. Then, responders transported her to the UCI Medical Center. Moreover, the machine’s hopper was still wrapped around her forearm while she was being transported by an ambulance at around 6:32 p.m.
 
Fortunately, the police revealed that her injuries were minor.
 

Dealing with Workplace Accidents

 
Workplace accidents can happen off or on the company’s premises. These incidents can also be the result of a third party’s negligent actions or recklessness.
 
Although some accidents are not predictable, the employer and employee can take precautions to ensure a safe working environment.
 
As an employee, you have the right to point out if you noticed that there are health or safety risks at work.
 
Asking the right authorities to deal with these kinds of issues can help prevent negative outcomes such as workplace injuries and even death.
