Investigation Summary
On June 19, 2010, an employee was cleaning a mixer-blender manufactured by FTR at meat processing and packaging business. The employee somehow fell into the mixer-blender with both of his feet first. It was unclear as how the employee got inside the basin where the agitators were. The employee was initially rescued by the Vernon Fire department and was taken to County USC Hospital by the paramedic for treatment. The employee was hospitalized and treated for foot and ankle amputation. It was determined that the accident was caused by lack of safety device to disable the agitators from moving when the covers of the mixer-blender were not in place. The interlocking device was either by-passed or not installed at the time when the accident occurred to protect the employees from the moving agitators when the covers were lifted open. In addition, basin openings was measured to be more than 1.5 square feet in area on the covers during the inspection allowing employee's access to moving agitators when the covers were in place.
