Investigation Summary
At 4:56 a.m. on June 2, 2020, an employee was cleaning wooden floorboards around a horizontal shaft on the discharge end of a Rock Fastener Machine. While the employee was bent over manually cleaning the wood boards, the shaft actuated and caught the employee's hair. This action resulted in the employee's scalp being totally removed. The employee sustained injuries that included a full head scalping and the surgical removal of her right ear. The employee was hospitalized.
