Investigation Summary
At 12:30 p.m. on March 25, 2020, an employee was preparing to clean the platform from blood. The employee was working in the Picker Room. The employee was tasked with cleaning blood from the platform ("drip pan"). The Tail Quill Puller ("the skinner") was located on that platform (about four feet above the floor of the platform), and the skinner was running. The employee stated that he placed the water hose on the platform between the skinner and the wall; he did it from the ground below the platform. Then, he climbed on the platform and went to retrieve the water hose. He stated: "I walked toward the skinner where I set my hose; I kneeled down in front of the skinner to grab the hose, and I put my hand on the skinner for balance. That's when the skinner pulled my right hand; it/the skinner was running, and it pulled my hand between two rollers in the center." As a result, all four fingers on the employee's right hand was partially amputated. The employee was hospitalized.
