EMERGENCY services have freed a man after his fingers became trapped in a meat mincer while he was working at M & K Meats in Lanyon Marketplace, Conder. 

At about 1.15pm firefighters manually disassembled the meat mincer to free the man’s fingers. 

He is now in hospital in a stable condition.

WorkSafe ACT is seeking to speak with a female customer who was in M & K Meats when the worker’s hand became trapped. 

“We are very interested in talking to this customer and as part of our investigation as we work to understand how this incident may have occurred,” says Work Safety commissioner Greg Jones. 

“I ask that the community member please contact Access Canberra on 13 22 81 as soon as possible and to advise that they were a witness to the work safety incident – the caller will then be supported as required.”
