Investigation Summary
At 5:51 am, (the third shift) on July 11, 1986, a cane shredder was being operated by a six-employee crew. The shredder clogged when too much cane was fed into it, causing it to slow down and stop. The employees went into the steam-turbine-powered shredder to remove cane and free the spreader. The employees worked in pairs. At the time of the accident, two employees were cleaning out cane when suddenly the shredder's rotor, on which the employees were standing, turned. The rotor moved about one half to two thirds of a turn, pinning one employee between the rotor and washboard, killing him, and smashing the other employee's left leg. The injured employee was hospitalized with a fractured left fibula.
