Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:00 p.m. on April 30, 2010, Employee #1, a driver for the employer's mobile shredding truck (AXO Shredder), was processing a bin of paper through the machine. During the process, Employee #1 noticed a jam from this location, entered the machine through a locked side door and climbed up into the hopper bin to clear the shredder at which time his right foot got caught in the shredder. The door was equipped with a safety interlock switch that the employer had bypassed, requiring Employee #1 to manually remove the interlock device (pin) to deactivate the machine. Employee #1 had been instructed to never open the door without properly shutting down the equipment first. There was an E-Stop located inside the bin-hopper chamber and one at the operator's panel that Employee #1 did not use, nor did he remove the pin from the interlock prior to entering the equipment. The employer does have specific lockout procedures from the manufacturer on which Employee #1 had been trained. Employee #1 was working alone and there were no witnesses to the accident. The employer was a commercial paper shredding company.
