Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 14204689

Event: 09/12/1986

EMPLOYEE #1 WAS HOSPITALIZED AND HIS LOWER LEG WAS AMPUTATED

At 7:45 p.m. on September 10, 1986, Employee #1 and another worker were attempting to clear the feather bin auger out feed, as it was binding up and causing the belt drive to smoke. A maintenance man told the men that they would have to lighten the load on the auger to correct the problem. Employees #1 told the other worker the quickest way to clear the bin was to kick the feathers through and then both men got into the bin. The two agitator bars (shafts with short projections) were left running, and were above the auger at an angle of 90 degrees. Employee #1's boot laces on his left foot were caught by one of the agitator bar projections, wrapping his foot around the shaft and kicking the electric motor breaker. Employee #1 was disentangled and transported by ambulance to the hospital, where as a result of his injuries the lower left leg was amputated.
