Employee Lacerates Thumb on Spinning Fan Blade

On February 17, 2011, Employee #1 was removing a 1/70th horsepower blower motor that was used to aerate a seed bag when he made contact with the spinning blade within. The manufacturer of the fan could not be determined, but it was powered by a Dayton electric motor. The fan, referred to as a squirrel cage fan because of its design and shape, was the size of a cantaloupe. Employee #1 was removing the fan without unplugging it and attempted to grab the housing. He sustained a minor laceration to his right thumb. After the incident, the employer installed a wire mesh guard over the fan intake area to prevent this from reoccurring.
