A man has suffered a "gruesome" hand injury during a workplace incident at the Baiada Chicken Processing Factory, at Beresfield.
Just after 8:45am on Tuesday morning, NSW Ambulance were called to Hawthorne Street, Beresfield.
Three crews and a specialist medical team were dispatched to the scene.
Upon arrival, paramedics treated a man for a significant injury to his hand.
He was taken to John Hunter Hospital in a stable condition.
“This was a very gruesome injury," says NSW Ambulance Inspector Mark Gardiner.
“We have been responding to a lot of workplace incidents of late, we need everyone to be more vigilant when at work and look out for their colleagues.”
Safe Work NSW has launched an investigation, and say "no further comment is available at this time."
