Baker’s arm caught in dough roller in Pasay City 

A 21-year-old baker was seriously injured after his arm was trapped in a dough roller machine in a bakery in Barangay 179 in Maricaban, Pasay City. 

According to Jhomer Apresto’s report on “Saksi” on Thursday, personnel of the Bureau of Fire Protection-Pasay’s emergency medical services team responded to the incident. 

The victim sustained a deformity after his arm was entangled in a roller machine and is currently in excruciating pain. His pain level is rated 10/10; the bleedingis also quite severe, so we must stanch the bleeding before transporting them to the hospital,” said FO3 Rowena Manlabao, BFP-Pasay emergency medical services team leader. 

Responders had to use a hydraulic cutter while slowly lifting the left arm of the baker. 

Investigation showed that the baker just finished kneading the dough and was about to clean the machine when the accident happened. 

“While he was cleaning the machine, it was still turned on. His arm was accidentally caught,” said Manlabao. 

The barangay said the bakery owner could be held accountable if the investigation shows that there’s no safety feature, like a machine guard, attached to the dough roller. The barangay added that its doors are open if the baker decides to file a complaint against his employer, the report said.

Meanwhile, the bakery owner said they would take care of the baker's hospital treatment. —Vince Angelo Ferreras/LDF, GMA Integrated News
