Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 200880086
Event: 09/20/1997
Employee strangled when shirt catches on machine shaft

Employee #1 was operating a Mateer-Burt labeling machine as part of her routine duties. The machine malfunctioned, causing cans of food to be double-labeled. She went to the back of the machine and was climbing a support member when her loose-fitting, football-type jersey became entangled in an exposed shaft. Employee #1 was drawn into the rotating shaft up to her neck and face and was strangled before coworkers even realized what had happened. Efforts to revive her failed.
