Investigation Summary
At 10:15 p.m. on March 3, 2017, an employee working at a cranberry processing facility performing sanitation operations from the top of a commercial cranberry dryer. Employee #1 was using a pressure washer to clean the inside of the dryer. The inside of the dryer was accessed via a 4 foot by 4 foot hinged panel. Employee #1 closed one of the panels in the crouched position and then stood up. As Employee #1 stood up, he lost his balance and fell backwards towards the hard concrete surface below. Employee #1 sustained a laceration to the head and two fractures to the left shoulder. The dryer measured approximately 140 feet long by 12 feet wide by 12.75 feet high. As a result, the employee sustained a laceration to his head and fractures to his left shoulder, which he was hospitalized and received treatment. The incident investigation revealed that the no fall protection was in use nor was the employee trained on topics such as fall protection and safe cleaning procedures. Additionally, it was the employees first time working from the top of the dryer.
