Employee dies when he becomes entangled in unguarded shaft

On May 8, 2002, an employee was unloading a tanker of farm fuel, using power take-off equipment to operate a pump on a semi-trailer. The employee got too close to the power take-off shaft, which was unguarded, and his clothing was caught on the U-joint assembly, pulling him into the unit. The employee was found entangled in the power take-off equipment by another co-op employee. The employee died from a broken neck.
