Investigation Summary
On August 4, 1997, Employee #1 sustained a scalping injury when her hair became entangled with the sizer out-feed belt drive shaft located in the packing department of Laemmlen Orchard. This injury occurred while Employee #1 was cleaning a roller on the out-feed belt. In order to reach the roller, she had to duck under the drive shaft which was four feet above the floor. While she was in this position, she lifted her head and her hair got caught on the rotating shaft and the force of the drive shaft scalped her.
