Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:21 p.m. on September 10, 2021, an employee was standing on the catwalk next to the belt that carries material from the shredder into the magnetic drum sorting station monitoring the flow of materials. The employee was struck by a piece of scrap metal that was projected from a metal shredder. It was determined that the employee was standing on a catwalk next to the mag-drum located approximately 76-feet away from the discharge end of the metal shredder. The employee was found lying face down in a prone position in a pool of his own blood on the walking-working surface of the catwalk. The employee was transported to the hospital. The employee sustained fatal injuries after being struck in the rear left portion of his skull.
