Abstract: Employee #1 was in the large tank-like structure of a feather processing machine, which has large paddle blades made of heavy metal that spin and dries feathers extracted from ducks. Employee #1 was inside the feather processor doing his assigned clean-up work. A coworker was attempting to do a minor electrical repair job on the same processor. Unaware that anyone was inside the processor, the coworker started the machine and the heavy paddle blades struck Employee #1 on the head and various other parts of his body, killing him.
