Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was working inside a blender drum approximately 10 feet in diameter and 32 feet long. The employee's task was to replace a faulty atomizer. Prior to entering the drum, which was a permit-required confined space, the employee de-energized the atomizers, but failed to lock them out, de-energize and lockout the electrical power source, and obtain a confined space entry permit. While Employee #1 was in the process of performing the task, the blender drum's electric power was inadvertently activated. Employee #1 fell between the rotating drum and the outer shell into the rake conveyor approximately 14 feet below. The employee traveled approximately 100 yards through the conveyor system before being discharged through the flume system into a double screw auger, from which he was later extracted. CSHO interviewed the deputy coroner; the coroner determined that Employee #1 died as a result of the initial fall.
